Update

General cutting of fairways, tees, approaches and greens which will continue daily throughout the summer. Height of cut on greens mower reduced to 4mm this week. This will drop again in the coming weeks.

Greens and and approaches fertilised at beginning of week and we are starting to see the benefits of this now with a healthier greener sward and some growth.

Greens rolled three times over the course of the week to improve putting surface.

Continued with bunker edging. Pictures show the improvement on the sleeper bunker at 10. All bunkers will be completed shortly.

General course set-up everyday, bunkers raked, tees markers moved, debris removed from greens/tees and holes changed 3 times.

New approaches at 7th and 11th cut and rolled. Both are knitting in well and will be top dressed and brushed as soon as is possible. These areas will be back in play as soon as they are ready, hopefully In the next few weeks.

After strong winds last week some of the newly planted trees had to be straightened and re-staked.

Trolley routes- white arrows painted around approaches are trolley routes and should be followed as much as possible. There have been a lot of trolley marks very close to the edges of greens and in some cases even on the greens, this is unacceptable. In one of the pictures u can see where trolleys have created scorch marks after been taken close to or on greens immediately after fertilising!
