Busy week at work, short staffed due to holidays and one of the seasonals going back to college, we've eased of cutting the greens everyday as the growth is checking back a little thus we have started to utilise the roller more, also we have gone a bit more invasive with out groomers on the big course to stress out the Yorkshire fog, we want to give the good grasses as much of a chance to thicken out before there growth checks back as the temperature starts to fall. We will be rasing the height of cut on the greens this week to 4.5mm with the triples and 5mm with the hand mowers (the hand mowers cut tighter than the triples that is why they are set 0.5mm higher), this gives the greens a bit more protection and stress them out less. The height will continue to rise in stages as we get closer to the winter. We also have tidied up the range this week and sprayed around the edges with total weed killer. The big course greens are due a feed but we will have to wait in until the wind settles down a bit. We have also carried on with our regular cutting regime.
