Big greens

The big greens have had a 9mm solid tine.  This will allow the greens to breath and help aid water movement through the surface.

Wee greens aeration

We have aerated the wee greens this week with a half inch hollow tine. This has removed some of the organic matter that has built up. We will leave these holes open through the winter to allow the greens to breath.

autumn update

With the autumn well and truly apon us we have been preparing the courses for the winter.  Firstly we have raised the height of cut to 5.25 mm, this takes some of the strain of the plant and helps to protect going into the winter months.  As the growth has checked back we will continue to utilise the roller to keep the strain on the plant to a minimum.

We have also cored, top dressed and fed the greens.  This will ensure they have the best opportunity to come out of winter strongly.  

The winter course has also been set up with winter greens and hole cups, they will only be used when the big greens are unfit for play.  The winter markers have also been put out on tees and mats have also been put on the par 3's to protect the tees through the winter months.

Please ensure all pitch marks are being repaired and divots replaced.
