16th Hole Update

Last month, we reinstated and seeded the area of rough on the right-hand side of the 16th fairway, which was the route of the new drainage outlet.

Member will have noticed that despite extremely poor weather conditions through April, we have some seed germination.

Seeding in the month of April is notoriously unpredictable but we still would still expect approximately 60/70% of the seed to germinate

Unfortunately, the combination of low soil temperatures and excessive rainfall has resulted in only a 30/40% success rate.

Seed Germination 

So to improve grass cover we have decided to over-seed the area again later this month, when (hopefully) weather conditions will be more favourable.
