Another beautiful morning at Malton and Norton Golf Club as the sun rose over the trees first thing. We have a little bit of rain over night but not enough to cause any problems. It helped water in some wetting agent we put on the greens yesterday.
This morning we cut the greens then followed with the sprayer applying some fertiliser, iron, seaweed and primo. We then sprayed some poorer areas in the semi with some iron.
Other jobs today were moving holes, cutting tees and semi and strimming long inaccessible areas around the course.
