Hi all, welcome back after the Christmas break. Apologies to all those that have missed the blog updates.
The boys are flat out at the moment trying to keep the course alive. With the extreme weather we are experiencing it is difficult to keep the entire course alive as we are struggling to get enough water on the course each night with the irrigation system and the time available to water.
What has been happening:
- Some drainage has been put it on the front left of the 1st green to dry this area out where water has been surfacing.
- We are trialling a sand box on the 4th tee so that players can fill divots when waiting for the green to clear. This will be filled regularly with a sand and seed mix. If successful we will purchase further boxes for the other par 3 tees as these are the most divoted.
- Removal of garden beds - we are removing a number of garden beds around tees where maintenance if difficult and the beds have become unsightly. Work has begun on the beds on the 2nd tee and will continue over the coming weeks. The bulk of this work is being completed by a number of members who volunteer their time during the week. For anyone interested there is a regular group on Tuesday and Thursday that do work around the course.
- Fairways aerated with an Aerway - this machine punched slits into the fairways are assist water and air getting into the soil.
