Welcome to our October blog.
The good weather continued as we drained the 17th green. The green had been slow to move surface water from it and after investigation we found minimal drainage. It was decided to install a full system on the green with seven laterals running in to a main.The pictures below show the various stages of the work.
Great work from the greens team to complete the job alongside course preparation in the mild conditions when grass growth continued.
In the later part of the month, Mallinsons came in to vertidrain fairways. This is essential aeration work that was really highlighted in the dry summer, when it was noted that the fairways coped well in the prolonged dry spell due to the deep root system assisted by the vertidrain program.
