The green renovations (1-27) and fairway renovations (19-27) are starting to show signs of returning to normal play, particularly the greens which have benefitted from the fertilises and amendments added to the growing medium throughout the renovation process.\u00a0 While the growth is encouraging it has led to putting surfaces that slow throughout the day as the grass plant thrives in the current conditions.\u00a0 In the coming week we will dusting the greens and starting a program that will introduce a product to the putting surfaces that reduces the vertical growth of the grass plant.\u00a0 This should help the consistency and speed of the greens.\u00a0 The use of such products is not new at Keperra and many Clubs throughout South-East Queensland during the summer months. Weather permitting, we will also be rolling the greens on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n
We have embarked on a program to reclaim some surface area to the putting greens.\u00a0 Members will notice some scaring of the grass immediately around the greens, this scaring will be evident for a few weeks while we gradually lower these areas to putting green length.\u00a0 In a similar process we are widening the fairway cut on a number of holes, which will improve the fairway definition and deliver some operational efficiencies by removing the intermediate fairway cut.<\/p>\n
Good golfing,<\/p>\n
