It also gives me the opportunity to thank the greenkeeping team at Haydock Park for all their commitment and passion throughout the year in maintaining the course to such a good standard.
In December we managed to complete the levelling and returfing of the 18th/12th/14th and 8th tees.
The turf used is LT 4 supplied by All turf.
Bunker Maintenance
Work as started on the 13th cross bunker, the team have re shaped it and put in a new drain, this will be followed up with a bunker mat positioned in the base to reduce sand discolouration, stone movement and the sand being washed down from the face in heavy rainfall.
The bunker work is a part of our winter programme to maintain and reshape them with our aim to achieve better playing qualities and visual appeal.
Raking bunkers
Below is a picture showing the wear of the teeth on a rake less than 12 months old, compared to a new rake. The seventy six bunkers on the course keep us busy and its now obvious they also wear the rakes out.
The January blog will show work on the drainage of the 17th green side bunkers and the finished bunker at the 13th hole.
