Wet wet wet

Another busy week out on the golf course! Our aim was to complete the bunker construction on holes 4 and 11, however the weather made it difficult for us! We managed to get some turf down in places as it was starting to turn colour, which will determine the grow in process. We managed to apply a 'wet feed' on Thursday morning, this included mainly 1-0-15, seaweed and iron. Once the bunkers are completed we are set to start work in the 12th tee area, plans have been approved to raise the back of the tee to gain more floor space, creating a nice straight tier complex all the way to the ladies teeing area. The pathway will be evaluated to weather it needs moving or can stay in its original place, all appropriate drainage/irrigation will be installed. I'm looking forward to get this project started, with the hope of improving more tee complexes over the next few years.

Other assignments this week included; changing holes, brushing greens daily, cut greens on Thursday, raked bunkers and moving tee markers daily.

Bunkers on the fourth ready for turf 

We couldn't mow fairways or surrounds this week due to the soft grounds, luckily growth has slowed down! Forecast looks to be dry for the next few days now which is just what the course needs! Enjoy your weekend and mind the cows!
