Friday - Status Green, Back 9 Open with the Front 9 Closed. White Status for now 🥶

Delay to planned work while the frost is around... but when we can, we will be doing the following.

Ball Collection.

Pin position's moved. Colour's of the Flags DO NOT represent their position on some of the Greens. This is in preparation for tomorrow's Cross Country event. Use them Rangefinder Scopes 😁

Weed spraying in areas.

Ball washer top up.

Remaining Blue Bell bulbs planted. 2000 have gone out the last few days.

Daily tasks.

Tee Banks mown.

1st Cut of Semi on Front 9 topped.

Fairway's roped to remove dew.

Then when drier, Fairway's mown. Very pleased with how these have come out of the winter after some heavy play and 1 day of closure 💪

Fairway's Sprayed with some N, Mg, Fe, PGR (on a select few) along with some Wetter. This is to knock back the Moss and encourage the grass to start to thickening out and gain better coverage.

Approaches trimmed with no boxes with brush down. This is to reduce to risk of collecting any granular fertiliser that was applied to the Greens and collars Wednesday.

Tee's cut.

Tee's dressed.

A dry roll to the Front 9 Greens.

Disappointing to see some whopper pitch marks on the Greens. Please repair your's and another then there would be zero!

Thursday - Status Green, Front 9 Open with Back 9 Closed.

Frosty Start so a delay to some practices for us.

Strimming around the Course Furniture while waiting for Frost to clear.

Blue bell planting in various areas.

Wednesday - Status Green, Back 9 Open with Front 9 Closed for Maintenance.

Very pleased and a successful ending yesterday with all the Back 9 Greens Scarification, Sand,Verti Drain, Spike, Brush, Blow & Roll completed. Just over a 12 hr Day for the Team without them even blinking an eye! 💪

Slightly different today as Monday a few stages of the process was completed just without the sand due to Machinery hiccups. So just Dew removal to speed up the sand drying.

Heavy Dress.

Verti Drain.

Spike.

Then when bone dry... a Brush, blow and Roll.

Yesterday's Greens getting some granular to help with recovery. Todays ones will get it after if time permitted.

Bunkers sprayed with some Fe, N, Mg, PGR & Wetter to knock back some of the Moss generated through a super wet Winter.

Some watering of turf around some recently built Bunkers.

Tuesday - Status Green, Front 9 Open with Back 9 Closed.

Same process as yesterday.... just with the Dresser power unit behaving 🙏🤞

Green's mown.

Approaches nipped.

Scarification.

Debris that doesn't make it in the boxes blown.

Slinging Sand behind.

When bodies are available..... Deep tine over the top of the sand to 8" and a 4" tine over that, to get the sand to various levels.

When and hopefully if dry later... a sweep in the holes.

Monday - Status Green, Front 9 Closed for Maintenance with just the back 9 open.

Greens mown.

Greens Scarification.

Greens blown.

Approaches nipped.

Top Dressing postponed for today due to Machinery breakdowns.... hoping to get this fixed or Source a "loan" for tomorrow 🙏 😬😶‍🌫️ It wouldn't be Maintenance Week without some hiccups!

Sunday - Status Green, with a tinge of white coming in 🥶

Greens rolled.... where possible as frost is forming on some as i type this.

Application of Dew Suppressant in and around the Frost. This is being applied to help with disease prevention, but also to do what it says on the bottle.... suppress the Dew. This will be handy going into next week's Course Maintenance so we can get some work done to the greens earlier in the morning with the leaf moisture reduced. This was planned for yesterday but with the frost delayed till today.... 🙄 no delaying now.

Daily Tasks.
