Course Conditions.

The weather forecast is looking favourable next week and this will enable us to start improving the presentation of the playing areas following this extremely wet winter. We have started cutting the dryer areas of rough but there is at least 80% left to cut and these areas will be cut when conditions allow and fairways will hopefully be cut next week when they eventually dry out. There will be noticeable difference in the course by next weekend and the springs and wet areas will gradually dry out.

We’ve finally been able to start importing the root zone onto the 12th tee.

Greens after inspection are coming out of the winter in great condition especially in the areas you don’t see with next to nothing of organic matter which is very important to keep low. If there was an increase of 2% organic matter some greens will have to be placed on a temporary green during winter but this is not the case as we have a proactive aeration plan and use biology to degrade any organic matter that accumulates.
