The past month has been\u00a0very much consumed by the Course Renovations Activities.\u00a0 The major part of this work was completed between October 16 & 17 and albeit we appreciate that it does disrupt Member play, having the Course\/Club closed for these couple of days, truly aids the process.<\/p>\n
As previously explained, the renovation process this year was quite invasive which was motivated by a goal to increase the removal of thatch and the volume of grain.\u00a0 Over time, this approach will ensure a superior putting surface and more consistent product.\u00a0 The Club can report that at this stage, we are very happy with the recovery progress and the rainfall that we have received over the past 10 days has been ideal.<\/p>\n
For those that may be interested, this year’s renovation process involved the application of 820 tonne of top dressing\/sand, 80 tonne of gypsum and 7 tonne of fertiliser.\u00a0 As some members may be aware the Club did experience some minor contamination\/stones in some of the fairway top dressing.\u00a0 It is important to note, that the fine white product (Gypsum) was to be expected.\u00a0 We can report that the supplier was fast acting and had staff on site to remove the stones and the Club has since negotiated further benefits and a reduction in the cost of the product.<\/p>\n
