Winter series am am

Today we had the first am am of the winter series held at Malton and Norton Golf Club. They picked a fantastic day, hardly can call it winter just yet! This morning we managed to cut and roll the greens, cut surrounds, blow leaves, cut fairways and tees, rake bunkers and move holes before it began. The course looked superb for the time of year, helped with the sunshine.

Credit to the team, they always put in the effort to maintain the course to a high standard. Once the am am had finished going off we started divoting tees, cutting semi, tining tees, blowing more leaves and continuing with the reed removal in the 8th pond.
The rescue application on the surrounds has highlighted just how much coarse rye grass was in some of the surrounds, now in full die back its easy to see.

Fortunately there is a lot of other grasses mixed in the rye sward so they should start to fill in the bare areas, however some denser patches may need more time to fully fill in.
