As Winter Gets Closer the Greens Team & Volunteers Are Getting it Done
After a record breaking hot summer we finally had some much needed rain to green up the course. Plenty of golf weather has meant plenty of visitors and lots of golf for our members.
We have put down one application of fertiliser to promote root growth for the autumn and winter period, another one will be going down after the greens renovations, one application of wetting agent with a seaweed mix has also been applied, which will allow the greens to absorb more of the rain that we've been needing for the last few weeks.
Now, after a wet but successful finals day over this weekend the green staff and our amazing volunteers have gone full speed into the preparations for winter. This week we have seen the vast majority of greens cored and top dressed as part of the greens plan for the next 18 months. Hard to believe it's been a number of years since we've been able to achieve anything like this, but it will now be a regular part of the overall course planning that we do each year.
A huge well done to the greens team on getting this work underway in some challenging conditions and also a massive thank you to Richard Ponsford from Aitkens, Jordan Cockayne, Ashton Flower, Phil Norris, Dai Smith, Richard Heath, Craig Boulton and all our fantastic volunteers. Without your help this work would be impossible and the course could not manage without you.
Of course with this work comes disruption, so we ask members to keep this in mind when booking tee times and contacting the club. This is vital work that must be completed for us to remain on track with course improvements over the coming months and years.
Thank you.
