Greens Spring Maintenance 2015

This week we began our Greens Spring Maintenance Program.

The green is first aerated  to a depth of 180mm with 12mm diameter tines.

The green is then hollow cored with 12mm diameter tines to a depth of 75mm

The 16th green being deep spiked and hollow cored

Approximately two tonnes of top dressing sand is then applied to each green

Finally, the sand is brushed into the putting surface

Greens (3,9,10, &11), which spend most of the winter under the shadow of Corstorphine Hill, will not be hollow cored and top dressed until soil temperatures and surface ground conditions on these greens improve.
