Welcome to our November blog.
The weather allowed us to make a great start to our winter programme. We looked at shaping,draining and taking off the overhanging lips on selected bunkers.
Work was completed on taking out the small mounds on the 5th hole, the mound on the 1st hole and filling and turfing the small bunker on the 11th hole, The temporary tee on the 12th was taken out because it is no longer used and this area will be prepared ready for seeding.
Removing the leaves continued with no help from the wind, the majority just dropped and were removed off the course with the tractor mounted blower.
We continued our aeration on the greens and tees. The fairways were cut to give definition. The greens were sprayed with a preventative fungicide to control Fusarium patch which is a fungus that attacks fine turf. I will go into more detail in our December blog explaining the conditions that enable the disease to damage the turf.
Below are a selection of photographs showing some of the work that's been carried out.

We hope to continue with our programme throughout December, And as usual the weather will decide what order it is carried out in.
