After the rain we had on fri the weather is looking drier for the next few days. The rain has increased growth slightly and when we get cut up the course is looking great. The mornings can still be quite cold but there has been some heat in the sun giving us a chance to get a good dry cut.
The conditions are now ideal to start applying some selective herbicide to control weeds. This will be applied to the tees and the teesides tomorrow. Before they get sprayed we are cutting them with our second new machine which came on Friday last week. This is a great addition to our fleet that we have needed for sometime.
Elsewhere aeration continues on surrounds and tees. We have also deep tined the back of the 10th and 16th greens as they have been slightly wetter than we would have liked during the recent rainfall. Pins will be located away from these areas until they recover, which should be a matter of days. Next week we will deep tine the back of 2nd, 5th and 12th as these greens have similar issues.
We have cut bunker faces and raked bunkers today, cut surrounds and clipped green side sprinkler heads.
We have a number of members who have put there name down for the divoting day/night, there is still time to volunteer, all help is appreciated.
