With the onset of the warmer weather we have started getting some growth in the greens. The greens have had a fertilised with liquid and granular fertiliser over the last couple of weeks to promote growth. The mower blades have been lowered to 3.2 mm down from the 3.5 mm over the winter months. The greens are now also being groomed on a regular basis which helps smooth out the surface providing a truer roll. The greens will also be dusted (light top dress) this week which will help fill in any small holes/dents and again help provide a smoother surface.
The renovation of the greens will occur directly after the men's club championships. This involves coring, application of fertilisers and a heavy top dress.
The greens are now being mowed on Saturday mornings (if there is no frost) with the increased growth.
