Rain rain go away.........


Total Rainfall for June was 187mm!!! This compares to an average on 80-85mm!

Greens have been cut with hand mowers for the last 2weeks and this will continue until conditions improve and greens firm up.

Iron has been sprayed onto greens to combat disease and harden the growth, along with a growth suppressant.

Snaking greens - with soft conditions and a thick sward of grass a 'snaking' affect is being created when putting. This will be addressed by verti-cutting to thin out the grass. Again this will be done at the first opportunity when conditions allow (hopefully this year sometime!!!)

Verti-draining on some of the wet fairways and walk off areas has done to try and help get rid of some water.
This will also be done on greens with smaller 1/2 inch tines next week.
