Autumn Greens Maintenance Program – Despite difficult weather conditions, I am pleased to report that we have now completed greens hollow coring operations and that 40 tonnes of top dressing sand has now been applied to the putting surfaces.
Another 20 tonnes will be spread over the next two weeks to infill the remaining core holes and smooth putting surfaces.
Course Improvements - The 2nd phase of the 9th green surrounds improvements are now almost complete.
We have removed the thatch-contaminated turf and re-contoured the left-hand side of the green with fresh root zone.

We are at present importing additional root zone to ensure that when levelling and re-grading work has been completed, surface water drains freely from the tee top.
