Head Greenkeeper report November 7th 2018

This past week has seen the gardens have a big tidy with all areas around the hotel cleared and trimmed down. Areas have been sprayed and weeded. The course has had some irrigation work completed. Putting green and chipping green has had all sprinklers completed as well as the driving range tees have been replaced with new sprinklers. This will be beneficial to the driving range surfaces for the summer seasons for grassed areas.

Some sprinklers on the course have had new nozzles into the rotating heads for increased coverage in narrow areas. Surfaces on the 9th and 5th paths have been topped up with a 0-6mm stone dusting. Many areas are heavy with leaves and blowing has been ongoing each day. Bunkers will commence next week.

Areas will soon be roped off, trolleys and buggies will be limited to areas throughout the winter months around greens and tees areas.

Winter mats will be out start of December.

Can I please ask all members to continue to repair divots and pitchmarks. Thankyou

Many thanks for all your support
