Monday June 9th
We’ve had some very welcome rain recently, well, more in the last couple weeks than we've had all together in previous months. Not complaining, it was needed to help the course and, most importantly, all greenkeepers.
The Team has applied organic feed on the 13th, 14th, and 17th fairways to support healthy turf growth.
The greens have received double verti-cutting and have been verti-drained to a depth of 7 inches. This will help improve drainage and overall health. A wetting agent was applied alongside seaweed on the greens, this will help with moisture retention and maintain plant health as we move creep towards the summer.
This should also help with increasing the green speed slightly, which has been affected by the seed heads and strong growth. What is good, is that they are rolling smoothly and are very consistent. The Greens Team will continue to work on improving the green speed over the next couple of weeks.
The tree stumps have been ground down - all that’s left is a bit of general tidying around these areas.
Please note that on Tuesday 10th, temporary markers will be positioned on the tees. We kindly ask that you do not move them, as they are essential.
Lastly, the driving range has been fed and freshly cut, with several trenches now filled in after being affected by washout. There is still more to be done on the driving range, but there is always progression.
Please continue to repair any pitchmarks, rake bunkers and replace any divots.
Thank you
Enjoy the course
