What fantastic winter weather at present, only 3mm of rain in the last six weeks. Hand watering greens in the middle of winter sounds crazy but is required at present with the westerly winds reducing the soil moisture content.

Green staff have completed bunker refurbishment by adding sand to selected bunkers and reshaping the edges. Wind erosion and general play has left a minimal coverage of sand in the bases.

Greens have been needle tined every two weeks to relieve compaction and stimulate root growth.

All gardens have been sprayed and mulching has commenced, this will help to retain as much moisture as possible for plant growth and health leading into what looks like an extremely dry spring and summer.

The course has been blanket sprayed with a selective herbicide for clover and broadleaf weeds.

Focus for next week will be mulching gardens, irrigation system audit and general course maintenance.
​
Thank you to all volunteers who consistently help around the course.
Course Superintendent,

Shaun Patrick
