Happy New Year

Hope everyone enjoyed the festive season and wish them all the best for 2013!

With skeleton staff over Christmas and New years, the crew were back in force this morning! Alot of tidying up to do on the course this week. With some fusarium patch on the greens, we brushed the greens followed by an application of 'Medallion' fungicide. We used the walk sprayers to protect the playing surfaces, and the results will be monitored. Other jobs this morning included mowing tees and fairways.

The fertiliser store has been stocked up with all our summer and winter applications, which will see us out till next year.

Last week we managed to start some much needed tree work, we cut back the willows along the 11th fairway. This winter we plan to cut the willows down to knee length infront of the 18th tee, some along the 10th fairway and front left of the 18th green.

With the weather forecast looking OK, we plan to feed tees and surrounds tomorrow, along with brushing greens, and changing holes. For more frequent updates on and around the course, we have a facebook page Les Mielles Greenstaff.
