Monday - Maintenance Day

Like a lot of other golf courses we normally tend to carry out the majority of our greens maintenance work on a Monday, some weeks it may be aeration or surface scarifying or top dressing, today it was a combination of all of the above.

The greens on Ravelston were verti-cut and cut and on Murrayfield aeration work was completed on greens 3,9,10 & 11, the greens on both courses were then top dressed with sand, brushed and rolled.

Tonight the greens on both courses will be lightly irrigated, this will help wash any sand remaining on the grass leaf into the canopy of the plant and ensuring clean putting surfaces for tomorrow.
