Course update


Welcome to our April blog, the weather continues to have a major influence on our work programme with the rainfall showing little change from the previous months.

Throughout most of April we've had cold northerly winds with the temperatures 4-5 degrees lower than they should be for the time of the year.

 These conditions have significantly impacted in preparing the course for the start of the season.

 In spite of the weather the greens team with help of a number of members have managed to complete most of the programmes planned for April.

 Mallinsons have vertidrained our fairways, top dressing on the greens has reached 60 tonnes, the greens have been procored,and a conditioner and wetting agent has been applied to them.

A new fence has been positioned at the 5th green. Below are pictures showing the various works.
























May work programme.

Lets hope for some glorious weather in May, we aim to feed the greens continue with the aeration and top dressing.

The leaves will start to dress the trees and with regular cutting the course will start to flourish.
