Head Greenkeepers Report December 19th 2018 Hello to all members and guests,
Busy weeks throughout December.
All turf will be completed today (19th). Surrounds to the 4th/ 5th and 10 pathways will be finished. In total 1200sqm of turf around the course. Big job completed ready for next year.
The past two weeks has seen the 6th pathway construction in full flow, we are at the final stages for completion now with all edging and fence rails have been put in place. Next stage is to build the base with a type1 stone material which will be compacted, ready for us to complete the pathway with a 0-6mm dusting. Once the new pathway is complete, we will open the pathway for use. We will then backfill the existing pathway so the ‘Zig Zag’ will be closed
It has been a great month’s work from all the lads and I am very happy to achieve our targets for the month. Weather has really been good to us!!
I have seen a few golfers trying to play off the Tees which are closed. I find this very frustrating and disrespectful to the club. Can I ask everyone to play from the markers which are on tee mats or ladies’ tees?
Surfaces are soft, and temperatures have fallen please can I ask you all to repair pitch marks, replace divots and rake bunkers. Thankyou
Buggies are now programmed to be off fairways, greens surround and near tee banks.
I hope you are all continuing to enjoy your golf at The Welcombe golf club. On behalf of myself and the greenkeeping team we would like to thank you all for your continued support.
We would like to wish you all a ‘Merry Christmas’ and ‘A Happy New Year’ and I look forward to seeing your continued support throughout 2019.
Many Thanks
Billy Hayes Head greenkeeper The Welcombe Golf Resort
