Course Update

All the greens have now been hollow cored, tined, Top dressed and brushed.

This maintenance took 4 days and I must thank all the staff for their efforts and the majority of the members for their patience and understanding.

All the greens have since been "ironed" and are running as true as expected.

We have changed the top dressing from a 80/20 sand soil mix to straight dm35 sand which will improve drainage and the firmness of the greens.

 A micro granule fertiliser will be applied next week to help aid recovery and give us a kick start for the new season.

The cores have been placed in areas where we can use them and are all ground under repair.

 The new irrigation pipe work has been installed on the 10th and 15th tees and has been tested.

This design of irrigation is a project we will continue to install over a number of winters due to the time and cost of the job.

Work on the tees will commence shortly and now that the grass is starting to grow we will be able to present the golf course at a higher standard.

GOOD LUCK TO THE CAPTAINS FOR THEIR COMING YEAR
