18/3/26

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! πŸ’ͺ

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.

15/3/26

Sunday - Status Green, with a tinge of white coming in πŸ₯Ά

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.... πŸ™„ no delaying now.
