The grass court baselines have had a lot of wear in the last week. The grass has not completely worn out down to the soil, but has thinned and yellowed a bit. Considering the amount of play and weather (multiple tournaments and temps in the high 90's) we are in good shape.
To relieve some of the stress we were able to aerate with some small, solid tines. This relieves some of the excessive compaction and gets some oxygen down to the roots. If the extreme heat had continued there is no way we could have done this, it would have stressed the grass further - luckily the weather has moderated.

Thanks Mike - hope you've gotten those nasty weevils under control.
A couple of questions - only three seconds for the first video - is that not a case of premature entinification? I know that it's not a real word, but it sounds quite erudite.
Next - It was not clear to me until the end of the video that this was a machine - I thought it was a picture from the lunchroom of Jeff and Neil attacking a sub.
Do you think that 3 inches of rain means that I can't play my club doubles match on grass tomorrow morning?
I was just asking.
