Welcome to our August blog.

We've  been very busy over the past few months with exceptional growth rates on the course. We managed to vertidrain top dress and overseed the greens the pictures below will show the programme of work.



















We will hope for good soil temperature and moisture levels to allow the seed to germinate. Sensible cutting heights will be managed throughout this period to enable the seed to establish. This work is really important in developing and renewing the grass composition on the greens. The timing of the work is so critical in achieving germination,and minimal surface disturbance that will quickly settle.

September work programme.
We hope to establish the seed on the greens and maintain healthy grass cover moving into autumn!!!!!!!!     And keep on top of the excessive grass growth around the course.


Welcome to the July blog.

Sorry for the delay in getting the blogs out on time, only we've been flat out maintaining the course and managing the rough.

The weather throughout July was changeable with periods of heavy rain followed by warm days this leading to heavy growth. the pictures below show our programme throughout the month.




Aeration on the greens.

August work programme.

We hope to vertidrain top dress, and overseed the greens in August, alongside the general cutting looks like its going to be a busy time.
