Indian summer?

We have had the Malton rugby club golf day on the course today and they have certainly have been treated with the weather. A glorious day and the course is in great condition for all. We have cut all areas, now reverting to half and half cutting on the fairways for the end of the season.

Renovations continue, the range tee was completely renovated, covered in soil/ compost material and over sown with rye seed. This area is out of play however the front of the range tee is now being used until the weather changes.

We had problems with an area on the 18th green where the turf died back due to an oak tree near by stressing the turf in the hot conditions this summer. As it was not growing back we have replaced the turf. Next week it will be topdressed out and the rest of the surrounding area will be over sown. The surrounds and approaches have been fertilised. Also the leaves are starting to fall so we have been clearing off a few tees and fairways.
