22nd October Course Update
The past week has seen a significant amount of work undertaken, in and around some rain interruptions. Importantly the greens renovations have been completed in line with last weeks course update. The fairways on holes 19-27 have been scarified, aerated, and top-dressed, with only the 19th and 27th fairways still to be rubbed in, with rain delaying the completion of these two fairways. The rough, more specifically the wire grass, has been treated with a non-selective herbicide. The rough has remained uncut to allow the wire grass to reach a height that will allow the herbicide application not to compromise the health of the remaining grass. GUR will be in place across the course over the weekend, and bunkers will be optional GUR.
22nd Hole – A new tee block has been shaped and turfed along with turfing of the 1st half of the fairway. The remainder of the fairway has been top-dressed, with some patch turfing scheduled for next week. The areas to be patch turfed will largely address those areas of the fairway which are affected by surface water flow and potential erosion.
Driveway- The main entrance driveway has undergone some repair this week. Several imperfections and raised areas of concrete have been cut out and replaced, a process that been difficult to schedule as it required the only access road to the Clubhouse to be closed for 3-4 days.
Good Golfing
