I'm back off a week away from the club, and straight back on with work to the greens. This time we are hollow tining, solid tining and sanding 19-27 greens. Unfortunately on Monday the weather was wet which delayed us getting started until 11 am. The rain was quite heavy at times but the tined greens coped with it well, showing the be fits of doing the work. The decompacted surfaces can drain much more freely. The 1-18 greens are now starting to fill in, the initial greens on 1-9 still showing a few holes. It was very dry when we did these greens and so struggled to get the final dressing of sand to bridge the top of the holes as on 10-18. As mentioned before these may need a further light application of sand.
We have had a few volunteeers over the weeks helping with core collection so thanks go out to Rich Harsley, Jack Bowers, Lesley Mathers our greens chairman Colin Webster. The team have worked really hard over the last few weeks to get the work done and try keep on top of grass cutting across the course.
The next big jobs we have coming up is to start the 16 th drainage ditch and start cutting the long rough down around the course ready for leaf collection.
