Welcome to our November blog. 

We managed to complete numerous tasks throughout the month with the weather still hitting us with heavy rainfall, totalling 113mm. Aeration continued on the greens with weekly slitting, collecting leaves gathered momentum with plenty falling.

We started work on reshaping the 7th hole with bunker refurbishment on all of them,the fairway bunkers have been taken out due to health and safety issues with the adjacent busy road. 

We started to remove trees in various parts of the course that had been planted too close together causing numerous problem, some of these being heavy shade around the greens, root damage to the drainage systems and badly shaped trees with minimal growth on one side of the canopy.

The golf course needs all areas to receive good airflow and sunlight penetration to aid drying out which will enable better growing conditions.

The pictures below show some of our work throughout the month. 

December programme 

We will continue with greens aeration and removing leaves off the course, and continue with bunker work on the 7th hole.
