The first family of Black Ducks this Spring
This week all tees have been cored using 19mm hollow tines to a depth of 75mm to remove some of the thatch that has built up since the autumn renovation. Thatch in turf is defined as
an accumulation of living and dead organic matter that occurs between the green vegetation and soil surface. Thatch development is a natural process and is composed primarily of turfgrass stems and roots. Hollow tine aeration (aka coring) is the physical removal of unwanted organic matter from the upper portion of the rootzone; this process also relieves soil compaction and increases air and water movement into the soil.
The majority of tees have also been overseeded and sanded, with four tees still to be completed at the start of next week to finish the renovation process. Greens have received an application of a biologically enhanced organic fertiliser, prior to the start of renovations, to promote active growth to aid with the recovery process.
