It was a fairly unsettled week with nearly 2" rain recorded on days Thu Fri.
At the start of the week we managed to get greens brushed cut along with the tees and approaches.
During the winter months we are susceptible to some moss trying to establish on our greens mainly on the new greens and areas were water would sit during prolonged periods of rain. We combat this by applying light nutrient application on the greens that have a percentage of iron and in more problematic areas spot treatment with a mossicide is used.
All temp greens were sprayed with a worm suppressant to control worm casts.
All course furniture and tables clubhouse brought in for winter months and will be varnished.
The weather near end week went down hill all painting duties started up, machines stripped & cleaned in prep for winter overhauls.
Our irrigation system was shut down ( in house ) all water drained from system and pump, all valves opened. The system will be pressured back up some time march.
Friday morning my self, Kevin met greens convener Eric discussed and walked areas In proposed winter programme.
