Greenkeeper's report

Work to be done week commencing Monday 7th October:

Over seed, top dress and mat in dressing (weather dependant looking to do the work on Tuesday. A temporary green will be in play when work is being done on the main green)

Contractor cutting the long grass around the course

Use the clubs flail to cut areas where the contractor cannot do

Strim around trees where the long grass is cut

Seed bare areas on the aprons

Carry on seeding/ top dressing bare areas around greens bunkers

G.U.R bare areas/ 16th O.O.B line/ knock fence post back in by the cliff edge

Sorrel roll greens

Spray greens with preventative fungicide against greens diseases

Seed/ top dress/ mat par 3 tees

Seed/ dress bare area between hedge and left bunker on the 13th hole

Unfortunately greens seeding was not done last week owing to mechanical problem with the seeding machine that we hired. As you will most probably be aware we had a hydraulic leak on a machine.

We will do what we can to get the areas back to how they were once we know the full damage done.
The long grass areas were not cut last week due to wet conditions. Hopefully they will be done this week if conditions are good.

Work completed:

Greens were slit

Iron was sprayed on the greens and aprons to harden the grass plant up against disease

Finished topping up sand in low bunkers

Driving range was cut

Driving range carpark and entrance was strimmed

Started seeding and top dressing bare areas around bunkers
