Yesterday we cut the greens as there was a little growth after the recent mild period.
Still cutting with the triple mower at 4.5mm. Ground conditions yesterday were still firm so little damage a nd compaction occurs. Before cutting some of the greens had to be blown off as the wind had blown debris once again.
The greens are still putting well for the time of year. Areas around the greens and tees are getting worn through play and no recovery. We have put out a lot of traffic management ropes and hoops to help reduce wear to areas that are in play during the season. Please ensure members and visitors abide by the measures in place, if any are removed please replace them afterwards to ensure other golfers don't enter restricted areas. It does make play more difficult but are essential to keep the course in good condition come spring.
We also have given the summer tees a trim, these are still used for competitions only, again to reduce wear.
The leaf collection trailer was dismantled as collection has finished. Any further areas of debris will be collected into a normal trailer. We have started to blow sand from around bunker edges and will continue tomorrow, along with raking and sand depth checking.
