Course greening up

After around 160 mm the of rain fell in the last few weeks and the course is starting to green up with the rough springing back to life. A bit more cutting for the green staff but a much better test for golfers.
The green staff had a huge week leading up to the Pro-Am with an enormous amount of work being done to get the bunkers and paths back into decent shape. The greens were double cut each morning of the Pro-Am at 3 mm and provided a good test for all.
Renovations – greens will be renovated the week beginning 24 March. Contractors will verti-drain the greens with solid tines and our staff will complete the rest of the process. The greens should be back in good shape 2-3 weeks after this process. Other bare areas on fairways, tees and green surrounds will be renovated in March. Wet areas in front of some of the greens such as the 4th, 6th, 8th and 16th will be cored and sanded to help with water infiltration.
