July update.  

We seen a mixed period of weather in july with more periods of rain compared to June, these conditions really got the grass growing.

 Aeration on the greens continued, the weather allowed us to spray a selective weed control on the tee and bunker banks, we followed up with a total weed control on paths and around the clubhouse.

I travelled over to Royal Birkdale to have a look at the course set up for the Open Championship, the course was stunning with fabulous surfaces and great definition. Excellent work by their greens team.


The Pictures below show some of the surfaces at Royal Birkdale.

August work programme.  

We hope to carry out deep aeration to the greens and spray a selective weed control to areas on some of the fairways. General cutting and course presentation will keep us busy.

June update.


We had some glorious weather in parts throughout june.
We applied a little irrigation on some areas on the greens to stop them from stressing out.

Most other parts of the course took the dry spell well with minimal drying out,showing the benifits of regular aeration developing good root structures. Aeration on the greens continued with the procore,and we topped up bunkers with sand. 

 Regular grooming and rolling has been carried out to aid smooth ball roll on the greens. We applied our monthly spray of conditioner and wetting agent on the greens to keep the plant healthy and to help to control moisture levels in the soil structure.

Below are some of the various works completed throughout the month.
