Tining cont.

We have been making good progress with tining of fairways. 1-9 fairways are complete, yesterday we blew the tined fairways off before cutting them to tidy the surface and smooth down any areas disturbed by tining. 
We also have completed micro tining of 1-9 greens, rolling after. 
Today work continues of fairways and greens on 10-18, along with leave collection and hedge cutting.
Tomorrow a granular fertiliser (2-0-10) will be applied to the greens with 10% slow release iron to harden and give colour to the grass in cooler conditions.
