The rest of the course has been cut, the fairways given a full cut at 16mm. Some had more grass on than others as it has been over 3 weeks since they were last cut. The tornado leaf blower was used to remove sticks and excess grass from the playing surfaces. They are still very soft in places so preferred lies will remain on until they start to dry out.
The tees and surrounds have been cut with the designated mower for these areas. The first time we have been out with the toro 3100 as up to now the conditions haven't been suitable. They look good considering the recent conditions. They have been cut at 14mm and the stripes were cut in to each area. The greens were cut on Monday but they are very soft due to play and the wet surface conditions. Again we have not been able to get any vehicles on to the greens to aerate or relieve compaction. The pro am is fast approaching so we are limited to the disruption we can do to the greens as any damage now will take a few weeks to recover at this time of the year.
The range has been cut, although it was very wet, the growth was quite thick in places so we needed to get this done. The gang mowers have just been serviced and ready for the year.
WE now have all new cups and flags ready to go out in the next couple of weeks.
