Recovering greens

Its been over a week since we started hollow coring the greens, today we matted and cut 1-9 greens to tidy the growth and to ensure they recover fully. In the next week or so we should see some signs of germination which will fill a lot of the holes in. Following this we will top dress again in certain areas to ensure the surface heals fully.

We only have 3 greens left to do on holes 10-18 and 5 greens on 19-27 to complete.
