Welcome to our June update.


We finally seen a period of good weather in the early part of June, but the end of the month the rainfall figures were on the rise again.

Mr Alistair Beggs from the Sports Turf Research Institute visited us to offer advice on our management practices and take various readings from our three indicator greens. He was very pleased with data he gathered from the visit and a copy of the report is available for members to read in the club house.

The pictures below show Alistair, and deputy Head Greenkeeper, David Traynor taking the readings on the 18th green.

The seed on the chipping area as come through really well, we need to start cutting it to thicken it up and apply regular top dressings to aid its establishment.

The heavy periods of rain left their mark on the paths. With this wash out being visible and ready for repair.

July work programme. 

We will continue with aeration,and applying the various sprays to the greens. We hope to apply  selective weed control to various areas on the tees and surrounds .

 Additional cutting will continue as the recent  moisture and temperature levels have created ideal growing conditions.
