A Productive Week

Building the current clubhouse

This week the remainder of fairways received their scheduled application of wetting agent, and all fairways have received their first application for the season of a balanced granular fertiliser, this will aid with improving their health, vigour and condition over the summer months. The 9th green has been mini-cored, overseeded, fertilised and topdressed as this was not done at the same time as the other greens during the September renovations. This reason for the late renovation was because of the need to allow for the establisment of the sod that was relaid during the minor re-shaping works carried out to the green during October.

Mini-coring the 9th green

The 13.5mm of much needed rain we received over the past week more than doubled the monthly total for November -
