Water taking a pounding at the moment. Switched to a lower rate but bi-weekly wetting agent programme for now to keep things a bit tighter with moisture control. #golf #greenkeeping

The year is flying by! Moving over to block cutting fairways this week, a few weeks earlier than normal as we try to help density after the summer drought. Another 10t of sand on tees this week to after overseeding and a double scarify on approaches.

A few areas still struggling on fairways but for the most part they are bouncing back well. Fairway overseed coming up with a custom mix after a visit from Matt Gresty from dlf seeds and Sam Sweetzer identifying what has come through well.
