The Greens have
remained healthy following the January snow, with only the 6th 7th
and 8th greens retaining water and remaining soft. Mowing was carried out last week with
caution. The main problem was getting the mowers around the course without
getting stuck! Consequently it has been a relatively quiet time for the green’s
maintenance program so the main job for the greens staff has been the tidying
of willow trees around the course. You may have noticed that the bunker to the
right-hand side of the fifth green has also been removed and the ground levelled
out ready for seeding.
With Spring
around the corner and the days getting longer we look forward to the course
drying out so the Spring maintenance can start and the course can be returned
to the high quality surface we all know and love to play! It has been
encouraging to see that golfers have been helping the ground by following the
rules and using winter trolley wheels – thank you all for this!
For your interest,
this month I have included some photographs of the greenkeepers shed housing
all the machinery. All serviced and
ready for the season ahead.
