The Mendip Golf Club
NEW! COURSE BLOG!
The greenkeepers are doing such a superb job, the course is looking incredible, let’s all keep praying for the sunshine we all deserve and the course needs.
Despite the winter doom and gloom making an appearance once again with a cold wind and wet spells, the greenkeepers chucked on all their waterproofs and kept on tackling the course.
The usual cutting continued this week as the fed areas are beginning to now grow. Tees, semi, fairways, greens have all been cut. Work has begun on rectifying the back of the 10th green. The plantation on the 5th hole has been cut and strimmed as well.
The new tee markers have been put out on the course. These were donated by Men's Captain Mark Necker, Seniors Captain Tony Scott and Ladies Vice Captain Louise Scott
The new top dresser has arrived, therefore 30 more tonnes of sand is now on delivery – The new machine has a larger hopper allowing the team to be more efficient, reducing the waste of sand and as well as reducing the risk of damaging any equipment. The previous machine did have a mechanical failure which was repaired but as it was old, replacement parts are hard to source and next time they may not have been so lucky.
The cutting height of the greens has been lowered to 4mm. Please can you repair any pitchmarks you make or see as there seems to be an abundance of them so please, look after your course! The greens have had a liquid feed and wetting agent applied. The surfaces are slowly firming up and the greens are starting to recover from several months of seemingly non-stop rain, but that seems to still be continuing with over 20mm of rain on Wednesday night! The bunkers are continuing th eongoing maintenance and raking and you are all reminded to please rake the bunkers after going in them.
We must all remain positive and look towards the great work the Greenkeepers are doing despite what they’re up against...all the things they cannot control like the weather!!
We hope you enjoy the course!
