There is also vertidrain and hydrojet areation, you dont always have to fill the holes, we punch a lot of holes during the growing season but usually only topdress the holes twice, we punch holes with water during really hot summer months, we vertidrain, punch 10 to 12 inch deep holes into the green that are typically the size of a pencil or less wjthout pulling a core, solid tines. Topdressing before aeration is becoming someting courses do from time to time. Aeration really doesnt remove thatch when consider how much thatch is left behind. Verticutting removes more thatch and is typically something we do before aeration. Aeration is mainly for compaction but it removes some thatch as well. Doing aeration at different depths makes sure no layering forms and helps get more oxygen into the soil and helps remove harmful gasses that form black layer if they stay in the soil for to long.
