Good morning
We seem to have a decent spell of weather for the next few days.
I am hoping to have all aeration to greens and tees finished by tomorrow.
All restrictions lifted on fairway all main tees back on play. I have moved the tee mats onto par 3 holes just untill soil temps start to rise.

Well it was a mixed bag this week with some challenging conditions and a big thanks to the staff for there efforts this week. We did not get all maintenance completed but weather permitting we will have it done early next week.

All sand greens hollow tinned 10mm quod head, followed by one pass thatchaway reels 2mm below surface and then approx 1 -1.5 tonne top dressing brushed in and rolled.

All soil greens verti drained 13mm tinne 8 - 10" depth still to carry out mini solid tinne and one pass thatchaway reels & topdress

12 holes all tees 13mm hollow tine 2" centers followed by heavy top dressing & brushed in.

The irrigation system was also pressured back up ( in house ) and a diagnostic check carried out for our automatic system which reported no major concerns. Over the next week there will be a complete check of all heads and any adjustments necessary.

Course Info 11/3/11

Good Morning

The unsettled weather we have been getting will peak tomorrow with some significant snow forecast. ( Lets hope the weather man gets it wrong )

The light snow last evening and low temperatures have made ground conditions slippery and in certain areas of the course impassible.

Course Closed Next inspection 11.00am
