Bit different to last Friday. Tricky week weather wise but we’ve managed to clear 15 of the 19 fallen trees, the rest will be dealt with next week as well as clearing the last of the debris. The course has been cut for the weekend and bunkers tidied Indigrow feeds working well

Yesterday we began greens maintenance, back 9 greens were scarified x2 to -10mm, solid tined 8”, hollowcored 2”, overseeded, topdressed and brushed and today we have begun the front 9. ALS Contracts also on site verti draining fairways

Tees, fairways & approaches all sprayed with a feed & selective weed killer this week

Course all setup and ready for todays White Lodge golf day.

2 days of Course Maintenance, August 2022. Tine, scarify, dress, brush.

Wetting agent application to greens this morning and watered in behind.

After a successful trial on the 18th green we have taken delivery this week of 75 Hunter Golf Irrigation - KAR UK Ltd heads & Rain Bird Golf - UK & Ireland swing joints to replace all greenside sprinklers over the coming months, updating our 20+ year old existing technology. Great investment by the club

Fairways sprayed with a wetting agent and seaweed yesterday to try and help aid recovery on the last of the scorched areas from the dry summer. 7mm of rain last night to water it in was a big help.

Work has begun this week on the red tee at the 9th. The tee will be raised slightly, levelled and an extra sprinkler added to prevent it drying out in summer months. Please treat as GUR

Greens getting a feed for the weekend after a procore & roll earlier this week

Out with the old & in with the new replacing sprinklers around all greens over the course of the winter. 9 greens completed as of today. This will make our system a lot more efficient when we come to need it.
