Please remember these works are essential for our greens to continue to improve!

·         Tees – Verti drain, Hollow tine to remove thatch and for soil exchange, top dressed, over seeded with     rye, bent and fescue mix and fertilised.

·         Fairways & Surrounds October 11^th/12th – It is intended to Hollow tine and collect then rake and  blow ALL fairways and surrounds. This is a huge project with piles of cores being left next to fairways  for collection once completed. Some disruption to play on the days will be necessary but this will be    kept to a minimum.

* All greens and Aprons works will be carried out in maintenance week   

All works are subject to weather conditions
