ABSTRACT:
A light-weight turf conditioning machine provides programmable subterranean soil processing. The machine includes a set of electronically controlled air guns that are mounted on a frame a given distance above the ground. Each air gun disperses a high pressure stream of fluid into the ground in a vertically aligned cylindrical shape drilling holes into a golf green. The holes are drilled using a hydrated polymer that absorbs and releases moisture in a controlled fashion fostering plant growth. A programmable controls circuit controls the rate, pattern and depth in which holes are drilled into a golf green. A portable storage tank is fluidly joined by a hose to the air guns. The hose allows the storage tank to spaced from the machine as the air guns are carried over the golf green.
