Rain on Sunday and Monday was welcomed (81mm) but not very comfortable to work in while coring the greens !!!
 
Green renovations have been completed, the new pro-core was extremely successful considering the weather condition presented on Monday. The previously utilised tractor and vertidrain would not have been able to attempt green renovations if the same weather conditions had occurred in the past.

Coring and cleaning up of the greens was only a seven hour process compared to sixteen hours with the tractor and vertidrain.
There was minimal tyre rutting on some greens from the top-dressing machine due to the greens being soft from the rain, this will be rolled out and top-dressed over the coming weeks.
 
The green staff have put in a huge effort all week with hand brooming the greens every day to get all the sand in the core holes and apply various amendments.
 
Overall a great result with no damage to the surface and expecting a quick recovery period.
 
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped with the green renovations throughout the wet and trying conditions.
 
Focus for next week will be general mowing and grooming of the course.

A big thank you to all the green staff and volunteers who took part in the latest coring works on our greens. It was a job well done under difficult circumstances especially on the Monday with the very inclement weather conditions.
I would also like to share my appreciation for all the work that the green staff have done to keep the course presented in such an excellent manner given the current drought conditions. Keep up the good work. You are all a credit to your profession.
