Tee Maintainance

Over the last few weeks we have been busy scarifying, hollow coring, over-seeding and top- dressing the teeing grounds.

Hollow coring the 14th tees

August/September is an excellent time to implement this type of renovation program, as the soil and air temperatures are excellent for seed germination.

Although the results have been impressive, we still have a few weak areas requiring additional re-seeding.

Re-seeded and top dressed

Because soil and air temperatures are starting to fall we have decided to use germination sheets to promote and improve the germination process in these areas.

In the autumn germination sheets help retain soil temperatures, which means that the re-seeding period can be extended. 

We would expect germination within a 14/21day period, after which the sheets will then be removed.
