The Course

Finally the warmth is building in the ground, and full growth is imminent, the recent low night temperatures have held back growth. The Greens continue to be fertilised every three weeks, and as growth starts the Sarrell Roller, top dressing, and vibro rollers should continue to keep the greens in good condition. Some variation in colour on the greens is due to the different meadow grasses, growing at varying rates. Currently a lot of hand watering is taking place in addition to the night time watering programs, as some areas are dry, noticeably on several tees. Wetting agents are being applied to promote water penetration.

The six existing mats have been removed and replaced with Huxley artificial turf, in two long mats, with a path at the back of the mat, and then a small chain link fence. Huxley turf will allow the use of tee pegs and therefore all clubs can be used from these mats.
