Update

• Greens – greens are being mowed now around 3 times per week with limited growth at 3 mm. Mowers will be raised to 3.5 mm in the coming weeks when the temperatures fall.
• Bunker – work on the bunker on the 8th is near completion. Sand needs to be brought in and turf replaced around the edges.
• Fairways – currently being mown once per week at 14 mm. Growth has slowed considerably in the past month.
• Rough – the length of the rough was lowered slightly after the wet period around 6 weeks ago. With the slowing of growth and the rough now under control the rough mower has been raised back to the original height of cut.
• Sand drum on 17 – this has been repaired. Some handy brick work by Chris.
• Black line for carts – Cam has put the black line around the greens to keep carts away from the green surrounds. Other areas will be roped off to stop cart traffic. Can all carts keep outside the black lines, especially with the recent rain as many areas will be extremely wet. Pass the word around and encourage all members to try to preserve the course for the enjoyment of others.
• Paspalum – spot spraying of this on the fairways has continued and help reduce the weed. This is done each year to reduce the spread from the rough. This will cease soon with the colder weather.
• Grass behind 16th green - the long grass behind the 16th in being removed as it has become taken over by weed in recent years. Other areas of similar grass will also be removed.
