The team this week had a mixture of weathers & temperatures but for the greenkeeping industry this can be a blessing - With rain alongside warm sunny temperatures, this allows grass to be stronger from the root, this meant the team took advantage of the opportunity got the terra-rake out to the semi-rough, which removes any lateral growth prior to cutting and any organic matter from the surface. which encourages the rough to stand up then ultimately improves the cut.
The greens were sorrell-tined (thin pins on a roller), with this brings aeration to the top 2 inches of the green surface, to help dry out the top.
The team have the verti-drain all ready for next week (starting 22nd July) setup to 9 inches deep which will de-compact and allow oxygen to get to the plant roots.
The Permanent tee markers and 100 yard disc’s have been edged now alongside the sprinklers that were done last week.
Drainage work on 17 has had more rootzone applied on top to help level the surface. The Bunkers were raked and the holes changed.
The border on the driving range has been weeded. The range was cut, as well all the playing surfaces have been cut multiple times. The Tree plantations were also mowed and trees strimmed around.
Thank you Team!
Enjoy the course!
