Course Manager Update

Haydn Drinkwater Course Manager

Greens

The Greens have been scarified and have subsequently undergone a light topdressing - a granular fertiliser was also applied to help push greens on and improve sward density. This was done on both the main course and short course.

Greens are at the summer height of 3.5mm and regular rolling will also continue throughout the season to help produce a true playing surface.

Light and frequent foliar fertiliser/and seaweed will be applied to greens as well to keep them healthy. Wetting agent also be applied to help water from irrigation to be used more efficiently.

Tees and Approaches

The Professional Shop

As you know, Steve Hunter, our Director of Golf for the past 27 years has officially left the business. He will be coaching every Monday for a short period of time so for those for haven’t managed to say goodbye, there will be a few more opportunities.

While the recruitment of a new Head Professional is underway, Charlie Turner will take interim responsibility of the team, so if anyone has any issues, please see Charlie.

The Tees and approaches have had a slowrelease fertiliser applied, which will provide nutrients over the next 5 to 6 months. This will be topped up with light and frequent applications off foliar fertiliser and seaweed.

Fairways

The Fairways will be fed, and growth regulator applied to slow down grass growth in order to produce better quality off cut.
