Over the next few days we are solid tining all greens on the 19-27 course. This is an identical process to what we carried out on sections of the greens on the other part of the course. There are fewer competitions booked on this 9 so we are taking the opportunity to do the greens in one block, enabling recovery for next week. Just a reminder of how we have done them. We solid tined with 12mm tines to a depth of 250mm, spread sand on to the surface, and worked it in to the holes.
Following this the greens are to be rolled and cut to help smooth the surface.
At the moment growth is vigorous so recovery should quick, we will monitor the surface for disease, as potential is quite high at the moment due to the humidity.
The rest of the greens were treated with carbendazim to suppress worm activity which was high at the weekend due to the rainfall on Friday and Saturday. Also some growth regulator to slow down growth.
