We have finally had a bit of rain which will hopefully green things up again. Some areas have suffered in the dry period with the green aprons taking a particular beating, which is why the white lines have been sprayed to help keep buggy's and trolley's away from these worn areas. I personally think that this should be on a permanent basis so that we really improve the quality of the aprons.

The greens have been sprayed today with a concoction of wetting agent and a concentrated seaweed extract which helps the turf recover from excessive wear and the stress from the hot weather.

The tees have been sprayed with a selective weedkiller and will be sprayed again in the next week with another chemical concoction which will improve colour and turf quality.

The rest of the course hasn't been growing as much which has given us time to start crown lifting the trees and replenish sand in some of the problematic problems.

Thanks
