Greens
Hollow coring of all the greens has now been completed . 13 of the greens have also been scarified , and top dressed the remaining 5 will be completed over the next couple of days . I appreciate this work is never popular with golfers and in the short term can have a fairly drastic effect on the putting surface . However the benefit of completing this work while the grass is still actively growing is it shorten’s the recovery time of the putting surface substantially . The greens will have an application of fertiliser applied to them this week which will also help to aid recovery .
Tees
The tees will be hollow cored , scarified , top dressed and fed in the next week or two .
Winter greens
The winter greens have now all been marked out . They have been divoted and will be fed this week . These areas are now to be considered as ground under repair (G.U.R) and no play except putting is permitted from them .
Pitch Marks
Could ask that all golfers please repair their pitch marks . We are fixing dozens every morning by which time lasting damage to the putting surface has already occurred . Thank you
Golf Course Etiquette
Could I appeal to ALL GOLFERS to please use the tee bins provided and refrain from dropping litter on the golf course . THANKS
