So you may have spotted some patches on the greens, this is caused by the sheep when they get through the fence and take a wee on the green. The ammonia in the urine scorch’s the grass where it’s most concentrated but around the edge cause a flush of growth.

Dramatic sky looking north this morning!

Greens renovation well underway! Fingers crossed the rain holds off!🤞🏻🤞🏻

A massive thank you to all the volunteers who came to the divot filling yesterday, we got around the whole course in 2 hours and were blessed with some great weather!

Storm Bert causing the worst flooding I’ve seen in my time at Appleby.

Bunker on the first complete and it looks great!

The bunkers on the 5th are now built and looking great! 4 down 6 to go! 😰 next stop the 15th!

The bunker on the top of the 15th is now finished and what a big improvement!

The bunker on the left of 18th green is now compete just needs turf to finish it off!

Apologies! I posted the wrong pic of the bunker at 18, that was the man eating Sarlacc from Star Wars and not the ball eating bunker of Appleby!

It’s the law when verti-draining greens that you post a slo-mo!

Set-up well underway for the ladies open! It’s going to be a fantastic day for golf on the moor!

Getting some much need air into the greens and opening up the surface for the much needed rains that’s forecast. The unprecedented drought spell has reel take. It’s toll on the course.

Beautiful rain!! 💦💦💦 10mm in the gauge this morning! The head Greenkeeper this morning on the 18th green!

We are currently trying a different way to rake the bunkers, the aim is to encourage balls to roll to the centre of the bunker, any thoughts welcome.
