Moss Control - Update

Today the 10th & 11th greens were lightly scarified for the first time since being treated with moss-killer


10th Green being scarified

To avoid too much disturbance to the putting surfaces, the cutting knife blades were set at 6mm below the turf sward surface.

Over the next three/four weeks we will continue to lightly scarify the playing surfaces, removing a little moss on each occasion.


Putting surface after scarifying 

By adopting this approach means that the turf sward remains healthy, as opposed to heavy scarifying, which tends to leave putting surfaces weak and recover slow.
