Update

As you are all now aware we have been doing lots on the Greens since the last report,

We have Top Dressed twice in the last 2 weeks putting on 8.5 ton of dressing we have also put 2.5 on the Tees.

We have sprayed the greens with a wetting agent which helps to break down surface tension.

The course held up well in the wet weather this is down to the Cultural works being carried out on the Greens.

Please can you keep all trollies and Buggies away from the Greens Please.

The Greens are being spiked today 8,11,12,15,16,17,18

I enjoyed Captains away day visiting different course give us food for though

Cheers

WOW

Well that was one busy week Leukaemia Day ,Irish against Liverpool, Our Open , and the Seniors Open.

The feedback we have received has been so encouraging in terms of Course presentation and the the Greens.

The Greens are currently being Vericut once a week and we are cutting them at 3mm as many of you are aware we have had a trial of a Greens Iron/Roller which we have used several times and the results are very encouraging Stimp meter readings after use of the Iron increase and the roll is truer as I am sure a few of you may have noticed!!!

We have got the greens upto 11 which is Tour Speed but the roll is getting more consistant.

On the back of this we have purchased this one which also has the capabilities of aerating as well which will ease the compaction issues.

However this is not a quick fix we still need to carry on the continues improvement of the Greens using Spiking Topdressing Micro coreing over the year.

We are continually cutting but we now have Billy who is doing an apprenticeship and he is looking after the tidying up on the course.
