Today with 1-9 closed we started routine tining of greens and fairways. The greens were micro tined with 8mm tines to a depth of 100mm they will be rolled once we have finished to smooth the surface and shouldn't effect play. Tonight is forecast a severe frost so we might have to delay continuation of micro tining in the morning.
We started slit tining fairways, this process involves slicing the turf using a tractor mounted slitter we have done them twice using 2 different machines to give the desired result, they will look slightly messy and disrupted until we roll, blow and cut them once finished. Slit tining will create new rooting creating more growth in spring.
We also have been continuing with hedge cutting and blowing leaves on 1-9
