The rough and long rough areas are increasing in thickness and toughening up the course somewhat. My professional advice is 'to keep it on the short stuff' :)

Either Or ??
At the moment we seem to get either fantastic days of warm sunshine or really wet, cool days which really test the patience of a greenkeeper. The last 3 days have been glorious, drying up the ground from last weeks rain. The greens are beginning to dry up again getting firmer on the surface and increasing in speed slightly. They look great and putt very smooth considering the rainfall last week. Today we have been more productive, all staff are back off holidays, the turf is dry and the course relatively quiet, for Malton and norton anyway. Bunkers faces have been cut, bunkers raked, semi cut, tees cut, surrounds cut, greens sprayed with primo and fert and holes moved. The next few days look a little more unsettled so let's hope we can maintain productivity all week.
