<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I wanted to take a quick recap of recent developments out
on the course, the changing weather patterns and an update on the reservoir
project. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">As we all know the rain has been relentless and I can’t
remember a wetter period in my career but there are signs things could change
for the better soon as the high pressure pushes up from the south bringing
warmer afternoons and hopefully less rain. It might even feel like spring has
arrived… for now! </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">It’s worth noting that with all of the modelling, things
can change very quickly but this is the forecast right now and it’s the one we
need, so I am sticking with it :-) </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">So far in 2024 we have gone from brisk winds to heavy
downpours, the climate has tested the resilience of the course and really
highlighted where we can make improvements. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">It’s vital we have time this summer to make those
improvements while the ground conditions are dry enough to withstand the heavy
machinery.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">As discussed before, you can see we finished up in 2023 at
1115mm of rain out wettest recorded yet but you can see the issue we have had
when laid out against the averages.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">2024 hasn’t eased up with 85mm of rain in January and 145mm
in February and 49mm already recorded in March giving us a grand total of 277mm
YTD. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguUpigGISJjclL89MILwwOa6RpoPAK6Qk2k2TU4RhwPca6hbBZK4Y1NdIAzcZTwcA8mr1GMJguz98H3xpjOCXstAik6RVgT8hnPDuJUvDsr55Dlzo3g2vYw6QgnGPhB7-McXQfMPFG_ENTCHZ4flBhU0WY2ZSoNpZRLCGi5T-deJyZXRhhfVvxGGCg7UM/s1600/Blog%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguUpigGISJjclL89MILwwOa6RpoPAK6Qk2k2TU4RhwPca6hbBZK4Y1NdIAzcZTwcA8mr1GMJguz98H3xpjOCXstAik6RVgT8hnPDuJUvDsr55Dlzo3g2vYw6QgnGPhB7-McXQfMPFG_ENTCHZ4flBhU0WY2ZSoNpZRLCGi5T-deJyZXRhhfVvxGGCg7UM/w300-h400/Blog%202.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Coming off such a wet end to 2023 and then an awful start
to 2024 has meant we have seen an increase in course closures caused by the
weather. This is something we never want to do but with the water table being
so high and the soils are at field capacity, meaning there is simply no room in
the ground, causing any rainfall to just flood the course. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">As we dry out going into spring the soils will dry down at
a fairly quick rate as they can only ever hold the same amount of water, it’s just
overflowing now but we will get a dry period of at least two weeks at some point!</span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">A talking industry <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">As a greenkeeping industry we are all very open and very
friendly, we spend our evenings still talking turf and other challenges with
each other. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I am very lucky that I can be speaking to up to 500+ golf
clubs through various group chats each day. These range from as far north
at Royal Dornoch to the South Coast in Devon, across to the Kent coast and
everything in between. I also speak to Course Managers across Europe, Canada,
the US, Asia and Australia regularly too. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I also speak with most of local clubs at least weekly and
have access to many of their weather stations. This allows us to compare
closures, discuss and talk about the weather. If the rain is coming in from the
west I would normally get a message from Parkstone to say they are getting it
and it’s on its way to us. Same from the east with Hayling etc. These
conversations help us plan when we can spray or fertilise. We all do the
same for each other as we know how expensive applications to our turfs can be
but it also allows us to compare course closures and trolley bans plus other things, so we
know tend to know what is going on in most clubs. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">One thing I can tell you from all of the conversations from
the clubs in the U.K is, we have all found this a tough, tough winter. Even the
courses on sand/chalk and not just the courses on clay like us.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The loss of golf is having a huge impact on many clubs not
only the revenue streams, competition diaries, and construction/project works along
with staff recruitment. The industry is really struggling to find good
greenkeepers, especially ones that want to work in the dark all winter and
never ending rain and this winter has been a really tough one. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;">The
good news is we are coming out the other side of this storm and we may have
some waves of wet and cold but on a whole the weather should keep improving
from now on. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Maintenance
week </span></b></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">As mentioned in the last blog we have moved the maintenance
week in a hope to actually make an impact and to allow us a chance to get some
much needed topdressing into the soil profile and to help dilute the thatch in
the top 20mm. </span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Getting
machinery around the course has been nearly impossible this winter, let alone
tons of sand being driven around. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">It would be easy to say let’s not do any aeration after the
winter we have just had with the amount of days lost on the course but we need
to aerate now more than ever. If you were held underwater and with little no
air you might struggle… the grass plant is the same. It needs air to keep
healthy and to establish roots. Roots that will feed the plant throughout the
season ahead. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Roots are our insurance policy in a water-deficient period.
They enable the grass plant to survive periods of drought more efficiently and
with less stress. Less plant stress = less risk of plant diseases. </span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Aeration isn't just about the present, it is
about heading off potential issues in the future. Issues that could impact the
playing surface. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8WE8kDOwZXA2NakM-zBHtZFKh389UvMoL0UZMfQ1giIa6LmP9xLoCeD5l09oseV4yXkmciFV8XUJIgGyIcJC33OPv1OIidlzDMnCIzhPR_sUBYhUxx1Moij912Kw-tf2HtseGgK9J4_Wv8LsRRW4FMDxVuqn1GxEtjH0OvMHwhCk9VagPeVmbjgKukok/s1600/Blog%205.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1201" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8WE8kDOwZXA2NakM-zBHtZFKh389UvMoL0UZMfQ1giIa6LmP9xLoCeD5l09oseV4yXkmciFV8XUJIgGyIcJC33OPv1OIidlzDMnCIzhPR_sUBYhUxx1Moij912Kw-tf2HtseGgK9J4_Wv8LsRRW4FMDxVuqn1GxEtjH0OvMHwhCk9VagPeVmbjgKukok/w400-h300/Blog%205.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bunkers being renovated</td></tr></tbody></table><span class="s1"><br /></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNLCDe9vwJK03Pq807yadeXpCKHGnTDDzVNKbG3UriDRabjsqBGuPcd9TYCGSWG_EEM8EkeQ_G2C2DI6_LX2yqg7vCfHTpkN-zQ6fuIi6zn_psVG6HlYi-Q_H6JOk2yNa2C2mXAyZMnlcYsR8Mreg6O1Y8lgM1lTTyEBGFl5VhVuZiRvikO5FzP4KA_vc/s640/Blog%204.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNLCDe9vwJK03Pq807yadeXpCKHGnTDDzVNKbG3UriDRabjsqBGuPcd9TYCGSWG_EEM8EkeQ_G2C2DI6_LX2yqg7vCfHTpkN-zQ6fuIi6zn_psVG6HlYi-Q_H6JOk2yNa2C2mXAyZMnlcYsR8Mreg6O1Y8lgM1lTTyEBGFl5VhVuZiRvikO5FzP4KA_vc/w400-h300/Blog%204.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><p></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">One of the highlights out of the recent weather has been
the completed renovation of sixteen bunkers by the skilled hands of the team. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">These bunkers are all part of a rolling continuous
improvement plan to help protect the members investment and to stand as a

took the opportunity to start to top the bunkers with sand. Once the ground

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">With the completion of the site clearing, the Heartwoods
team attention turned to the extraction operations. It is hoped this will be
completed this week and the repairs to the top car park can be started. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The site operations have been slowed by the recent weather
but the impact of all the extraction has left some areas within the site area
up to 4ft deep in un- walkable mud. Lots of work to establish firm roadways
will be started in April while additional works with the second stage clearance
works (tree stumps) starting in May. Our Ecologists will continue until July
working on various wildlife mitigations. It is worth noting that although a
great number of trees have been removed from site, these all had low ecological
value and will be replaced as part of the planting scheme with much better
species composition, we will also see some of these works on the course too. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmxmyHYrdfxPMU4a_TDF4E8v5GszdH8YzuGwHWZCdREXDB6HyhD-qEF1m_wVIWbIuWgktIUPg1NNvO2UZ_ozuU6ZXfAGqUD1zm_fXwzRF1BnOeFDwz-vXCOQuRjIgMfrEnkqgFKM1s91cMfKKb0dl0NuOnKLbmR2iaSfsYzc3gDjSo66oBdPbm_pCTeug/s640/Blog%2012.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="640" height="618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmxmyHYrdfxPMU4a_TDF4E8v5GszdH8YzuGwHWZCdREXDB6HyhD-qEF1m_wVIWbIuWgktIUPg1NNvO2UZ_ozuU6ZXfAGqUD1zm_fXwzRF1BnOeFDwz-vXCOQuRjIgMfrEnkqgFKM1s91cMfKKb0dl0NuOnKLbmR2iaSfsYzc3gDjSo66oBdPbm_pCTeug/w640-h618/Blog%2012.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br /></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I would like to thank the Heartwood team for their
professionalism and dedication. We had a lot of ecological restraints, reduced
timescales because of bird nesting season (with 56 days of work needed in 29
days) and high rainfall and they still managed to deliver what was required to
allow us to continue this project. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj194nRuEZ0JgsWblDNQunS07U082kTedLL4J8fs-j9XLf5e7chuwZSzFD_Y3fJuV6lo4MVG-3O0TsXokJblzMEcX03m4o6dpF3cze9zovRVKnrA0Z4z5SLGqMOsa7IN5zczn73GBKVGBVIBwnmrdY24EVzSnoXz7bXKorikKepEWGbdZg9cG7C87MewmA/s640/Blog%207.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj194nRuEZ0JgsWblDNQunS07U082kTedLL4J8fs-j9XLf5e7chuwZSzFD_Y3fJuV6lo4MVG-3O0TsXokJblzMEcX03m4o6dpF3cze9zovRVKnrA0Z4z5SLGqMOsa7IN5zczn73GBKVGBVIBwnmrdY24EVzSnoXz7bXKorikKepEWGbdZg9cG7C87MewmA/w640-h480/Blog%207.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br /></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I would also like to say ‘thank you’ to the Ecologists. We
had seven different Ecologists involved over the last month all working with a
Senior Ecologist, this included five Ecologists for Dormouse and two climber
Ecologists for bats, all of them making sure we were doing everything set out
by Natural England and lastly a ‘thank you’ for the greenstaff who have had to
be adaptable and work within the site with a forestry team and being always
guided by Ecologists, which is not their normal job but it meant we kept the
project to the timescales with them being so flexible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlsTMeyBMFwSuePKahusym2rGJvb_DX0n1KFaAczh9NI9jiVC0qOzhyq1vVPWWj-oR-l8Cl8Ycuj2Jo7kguP_MzfvM5ERXViwKpTIrH-nS8xUr0sUt8eZqLwWWmfC5phJsmeIEdyRJUVTbjbRbplx280xoaaA-HHgJFcN2VIjO4BQeeLFvgq6_WOl-DDI/s640/Blog%2010.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlsTMeyBMFwSuePKahusym2rGJvb_DX0n1KFaAczh9NI9jiVC0qOzhyq1vVPWWj-oR-l8Cl8Ycuj2Jo7kguP_MzfvM5ERXViwKpTIrH-nS8xUr0sUt8eZqLwWWmfC5phJsmeIEdyRJUVTbjbRbplx280xoaaA-HHgJFcN2VIjO4BQeeLFvgq6_WOl-DDI/w400-h300/Blog%2010.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span><p></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">In response to the evolving needs of the Reservoir project, we
have implemented a new layout in both car parks. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The overflow car park has seen bays marked in it to
maximise the space. The greenstaff installed a new fence along the bottom to
try and hide our material bays but leaving enough room for our sand deliveries.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The roadway widths in between the newly marked bays have
been measured correctly to allow cars to be able to leave each space. PLEASE DO
NOT PARK IN ANY OF THESE AREAS as you will block someone in and maybe asked to
leave the course to move the car (which has happened a few times already). <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The main car park
has seen a new layout which was approved by the planners during our planning
application with the council and the clubs </span></span>safety consultant. In
the last two weeks the curb stones were taken away, it was then lowered and tarmacked to
give us the second lane.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">You will have noticed all
the markings have been done apart from the top car park which will need to be
added too once Heartwood leave site. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The new two-way road layout through the middle of the car
park has been implemented to allow two way access for you the members and for
the delivery Lorries for the day to day business of the club. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The member car park will have the right of way over the Lorries
and has been marked accordingly but please make sure the Lorries next to you on
exit and entrance have stopped and seen you. Please use this two way road
through the middle of the car park as the roadway will be out of action soon. We
are looking at implementing a secure crash barrier type fencing between the
member car parking spots and the road the Lorries will be using.</p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">Yet again we will keep
updated with developments on this and will let you know when we can open the
top car park again. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I thought I would give you an update on the plans this week
regarding Maintenance Week and how we are going to move forward. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to the high levels of rainfall we are still experiencing
we have decided to postpone this week’s Maintenance Week. The course is simply
too wet for us to be able to drive around with large volumes of sand for
topdressing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s worth remembering we have a yearly target of 150 tons
of sand on the greens to enable us to dilute the thatch levels/ organic matter
along with improving the infiltration rates and to aid smoothness/firmness
especially after a wet winter when the microbiology isn’t working as efficiently
to be able to break down the thatch and OM. To achieve this level of sand we need to be using solid tines or hollow core tines that will allow sand to move down the tine hole into the profile. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">We plan to move the Maintenance Week in line with the
Tees/ Aprons and Surrounds Maintenance week on the 11<sup>th</sup> March 2024 . The March date was always our back
up week in the club diary and we hope to get a dry spell leading up to this...</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">An updated program
will be sent out nearer the time.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">We like to carry out the greens maintenance earlier
in the year to give us fully recovered greens by March giving us better playing surfaces for longer into the season. Unfortunately
we will need to be a little more patient this year.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although we are extremely frustrated by the current weather situation
the requirements for the greens to get some air is still a major priority. It has been a
long wet winter and we’ve kept the greens sealed up (low aeration) in attempt to keep the water out of the soil profile and running off the surface, this in turn to keeps play
going but we are starting to see signs we need more aeration. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFJMDYvb2uaCWdKwXowvFKhJ6cdBI-NuFB33gAr81JVVXcM29j366IOwoVV3IYgEwxvi4u-nLoOQcRqxpc2zpaWf1X7aH_ierTZBM8YbRBwJJLWKG0vkLNg-h4hyrdPEY3qkq9eER9b3m_FsZg6ASyAVQN81wXBJquCbQ1HMh9c4QRxC08nLi0gs9pols/s640/chisel%20tine.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFJMDYvb2uaCWdKwXowvFKhJ6cdBI-NuFB33gAr81JVVXcM29j366IOwoVV3IYgEwxvi4u-nLoOQcRqxpc2zpaWf1X7aH_ierTZBM8YbRBwJJLWKG0vkLNg-h4hyrdPEY3qkq9eER9b3m_FsZg6ASyAVQN81wXBJquCbQ1HMh9c4QRxC08nLi0gs9pols/w640-h360/chisel%20tine.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Chisel Tines</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have taken the opportunity to change our plans this week
and give the greens two types of aeration that is low impact to the surfaces.
We plan to chisel tine greens, this is more of knife shape tine, or slit. This
leaves the surface sealed with very little disturbance to the surface but
creates openings within the soil profile for the greens to breath. This work
will be carried on Monday and Tuesday. Today the Front 9 was closed to allow for some works to be done following the course inspection this morning. Tuesday morning the <b>Back 9</b> will be closed but the <b>Front 9 </b>will be open. Please play from the 1st - 9th and then walk back up the 18th hole. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcxz8VmDE2TsPyPiJ58Xa2yFQLdbmXPrUpRM8jszkRKPf8wpQCyiX-wsviYuOWCqxx9gTYWpIFdtMmAJzi7LHGWHGv-VRHbYXr7NifExBKjeiNMA076VuruvghadbNB-Uz48idmsGDCvMx9CCHNF70YJo0f3x8gV2SroQSo8II003kz_e1y7iV7yr4AmQ/s680/Greens%20Report%206.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="510" data-original-width="680" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcxz8VmDE2TsPyPiJ58Xa2yFQLdbmXPrUpRM8jszkRKPf8wpQCyiX-wsviYuOWCqxx9gTYWpIFdtMmAJzi7LHGWHGv-VRHbYXr7NifExBKjeiNMA076VuruvghadbNB-Uz48idmsGDCvMx9CCHNF70YJo0f3x8gV2SroQSo8II003kz_e1y7iV7yr4AmQ/w400-h300/Greens%20Report%206.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Air2g2</td></tr></tbody></table>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">February 2023 was, if not the driest February on record
with only 9mm recorded and something we could have really done with this year
but as the low rainfall figures in February only happen every 90 years or so we
might have to wait a while for that to happen again! <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT94lg0df3ND1umfbx6INF645rXyRQ3cgV6G7V4xMNXUPmw1GnIY6GRge8WqCIbFmxFfr_5IRVnc_0aOqWe1BFyjhqN-8BOir8uvRkpGbp1nNRW9hXQ19B2EEoSFEcmOKXEb73A7sSu4Vs_ez6zpwx7HD1Jx6hoLtARYD6M8DzzWDWps6BjKpjM8F-7aQ/s640/weather%20feb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="461" data-original-width="640" height="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT94lg0df3ND1umfbx6INF645rXyRQ3cgV6G7V4xMNXUPmw1GnIY6GRge8WqCIbFmxFfr_5IRVnc_0aOqWe1BFyjhqN-8BOir8uvRkpGbp1nNRW9hXQ19B2EEoSFEcmOKXEb73A7sSu4Vs_ez6zpwx7HD1Jx6hoLtARYD6M8DzzWDWps6BjKpjM8F-7aQ/w400-h289/weather%20feb.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><p></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">We experienced a fantastic few days at the end of January,
the course had dried out enough for us to be able to cut all areas and in some
of the afternoon sun we felt like spring was just around the corner. That
bubble has burst (literally) with 55mm of rain already registered this month following
another 87mm in January. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">It’s really important we remember that this winter is
record breaking for all the wrong reasons and we will need a significant dry
period with high evaporation rates (days of high winds or high temperatures) to
bring the water table down. When driving around you will see the local fields
are full of water, the rivers are bursting and the roads are flooded. The knock on effect of this weather with crop yield being down for the farmers could be quite an issue come spring. </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"> </p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">On a positive note, the weather bloggers I follow are all saying the same thing. When the rain stops this year, that could be it and they are expecting a very, very hot one!</p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br /></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Out on the course it only taking a few millimetres of rain
to push the water table up and make areas unplayable and unsafe. The 41mm of
rain from the 8<sup>th</sup> February to the 10<sup>th</sup> set us back. The
greens performance was actually pretty good during this period but the walkways
and roughs were awful and a real highlight we need to do some more work in the
areas with drainage and aeration. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

added the drainage in the last three years, the same level of aeration works
was then taken out onto the aprons to see these areas improve, then we started
doing more to the tee surfaces, then we moved the same process out on to the
fairways and due to the 2018 drought we had to be even more aggressive on the
fairways and all this work has been paying off. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCt9M3ohIjkKmmosaXS6CM6Z1sPnGt5BVniExoRcbmVpsR-s5sD0exHVV18aXtw5c_evH_-l4RhfsA3cdfcX5OSFz9cHS3G1-rXbKnH94szGegA33e5kOxcsdKNxmBDJlZrTL6WMm9bDMlnUF1Jaba-y11c-uN-WfxXjfjNWr0feozFMDrGoKl36X_x8Y/s640/2018%20fairways.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCt9M3ohIjkKmmosaXS6CM6Z1sPnGt5BVniExoRcbmVpsR-s5sD0exHVV18aXtw5c_evH_-l4RhfsA3cdfcX5OSFz9cHS3G1-rXbKnH94szGegA33e5kOxcsdKNxmBDJlZrTL6WMm9bDMlnUF1Jaba-y11c-uN-WfxXjfjNWr0feozFMDrGoKl36X_x8Y/w400-h300/2018%20fairways.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fairways after the 2018 drought </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p>

budget and some of the works on fairways had to be postponed let alone moving
some of these works into the roughs but our long term goal has to be improving
with both drainage and aeration these pinch points and rough that are closing
the course due to the ground being saturated. We will get there but for now we

<p class="p2" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">I
wanted to do a quick blog on the various works that are being undertaken since
the beginning of the year but before we do let’s talk about one of my favorite subjects… the weather! </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin: 0cm;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">The Weather <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The New
Year started with a bang with one of the biggest flash floods we have
experienced in Southampton with 34mm of rain coming down in a “violent”
level rain rate (which if over 50+mm per hour) recorded on the 5th
courtesy of the back end of Storm Henk. This combined with the already
saturated ground and high tide caused areas to flash flood with cars left
floating including Stoneham Lane. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p><br /></o:p></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZln8XayN0km73rp1hzDllCpPmGqDt36-sJ63YRCcf7TjyBK5Xnx2IyhRwu9nH-jNFVjluxGeCVYaBVU5oXJscqg0rGXnk8n4BCx3UpwyZL8z3C5W1TRopGMA2tc6VFatIF4HsVeP9DArQTNsP-c5hoPphJs28EFn2zcrxqlcv3_fbAzTZADyJuyJaAJI/s1180/Floating%20car.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="524" data-original-width="1180" height="178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZln8XayN0km73rp1hzDllCpPmGqDt36-sJ63YRCcf7TjyBK5Xnx2IyhRwu9nH-jNFVjluxGeCVYaBVU5oXJscqg0rGXnk8n4BCx3UpwyZL8z3C5W1TRopGMA2tc6VFatIF4HsVeP9DArQTNsP-c5hoPphJs28EFn2zcrxqlcv3_fbAzTZADyJuyJaAJI/w400-h178/Floating%20car.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><o:p><br /></o:p><p></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">This
created some challenges with 55mm of rain in the first five days of the year,
on top of the wet year before. It’s worth remembering one good week isn’t
enough to reduce the water table back to far and all eyes on the long distance
forecasts to give us a glimmer of hope but it’s only going to take a small
amount of rain to set us back again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">For now
this winter charm is embracing Stoneham with a mix of crisp mornings and
mild afternoons thanks to an Omega Blocking Event. We are experiencing an El
Nino (The boy) year. This can have a major effect on the worlds weather and is
caused by rising temperatures in the central and pacific oceans. All the
weather bloggers I follow are saying we are in for a very hot summer! For more
information on El Nino’s see the link here:- </span></span><a href="https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/learn-about/weather/oceans/el-nino"><span face=""Helvetica",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">What are
El Niño and La Niña?</span></a><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Looking
ahead, the forecast predicts a week of intermittent sunshine, some clouds, and
a chance of rain at the weekend but still very cold so make sure you wrap up warm. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">It’s
made all the difference seeing the sunshine again though! </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I think
we can all agree this weather is so much better than last few months of 2023’s
rain. Our record breaking wettest year since records began with 2023 finishing
at 1115mm of rain. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Enough
of the weather let’s have a look at the ongoing enhancements on the course.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Greens <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">We have
managed to get the greens cut while holding back when too wet and delaying the
cuts when the course is frozen but they are still in good condition for the
time of year. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Our
disease management strategies will continue as a priority until the good growth
kicks in. For now the growth will be very limited and will come in waves
between now and May. Having the right feeding program to take advantage of
those waves will be as important as it is every year. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">This
week we started to slit tine greens. The knife type action will help move water
and air down the profile without opening the surface to more rain. This will
aid natures own aeration with the frosts! As the moisture in the soil expands
and retracts between the frost and thaw this will help get air into the soil
and this should link nicely with the slit tine. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibSuEHEmYinQofeXEkmz7uBP0d2h67I9j58CmVjdra2UzlX2h6cvuRifTe0QsH5T0Sb290esJSKTwAfvpcl8F9BL8OelTX_thTzIs2GnxtoMICwY5Vi_qm9DNeD3KhHq8w4-QXEz59tcXOQDHQFeeR5dOigY6v_z5bkFJvBXgppZESPC5OaVzRKGdywOU/s2048/Cutting%20jan.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibSuEHEmYinQofeXEkmz7uBP0d2h67I9j58CmVjdra2UzlX2h6cvuRifTe0QsH5T0Sb290esJSKTwAfvpcl8F9BL8OelTX_thTzIs2GnxtoMICwY5Vi_qm9DNeD3KhHq8w4-QXEz59tcXOQDHQFeeR5dOigY6v_z5bkFJvBXgppZESPC5OaVzRKGdywOU/w400-h300/Cutting%20jan.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">You may have
noticed we have added our second</span></span> (frost holes as we call them) on the greens.
This will allow us to move the flags between the different holes and to spread
the wear during these frozen periods. This is all part of that disease
management strategy. Weak and worn plants are more at risk of disease and
giving areas a rest can make all the difference especially as we play on main
greens all year round.</p>

more complicated than “just sand” and a whole different blog when we can look
at particle size distribution, gradation testing, drainage and stability but we

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As we approach the Christmas period, our hardworking team prepares
for a well-deserved break. However, our focus remains on combating the prime
disease pressure—particularly combating threats like fusarium disease. Managing dew
becomes paramount during this point of the year, the crucial element in
safeguarding the health of our greens. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">During the Christmas period the team are aware this is the
priority. Damage from disease at this time of year can take months to recover. The
team will be doing all they can daily to keep the course in good condition but areas like bunkers cannot get the same amount of attention as they would normally. Please help us to help you by repairing pitchmarks and raking bunkers after your shots. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If the forecast is correct we could be in for a tough Christmas
period with heavy rain and high winds. The course will be inspected daily as
normal but its import we prioritise the course and member safety at all times.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">If the course is unplayable, it’s simply is unplayable. We cannot
risk huge damage or an accident just because of the time of year. We have the
two coldest months of the year to come, meaning we won’t get any recovery and
with the already high water table, it won’t take much to push us over. Please bare that in mind, we have started the winter on our back foot. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hopefully the forecast will change yet but I thought it was worth reminding
everyone where we are. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="s1">Considering all the rain we have had, I must say I think the
course is holding up really well and the condition is the best I’ve seen it at
the end of December. This is proving our strategy is right. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="s1">I would like to thank you all for your kind comments and gifts for
the greenstaff. I would also like to thank you for bearing with us during this
awful period of weather. The days start to get lighter from now and spring will
be here before we know it. <o:p></o:p></span>Roll on 2024, I am ready for the spring/summer now!</p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">As I sit here writing this blog in the darkness, you can
really tell we are heading into the winter equinox. The good news is, within two weeks the darkest day would have passed and we will slowly move back
towards spring, although this is still a long way off and feels it at the
moment. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Last week saw a little rest bite from the relentless rain
with days of frosts and sunshine in the afternoon. It was bitterly cold,
especially compared with the predicted highs of the coming days. From -2 to 13c
is a significant swing in temperatures that are playing havoc with Mother Nature.
That short interlude was over to quickly and we’ve gone back to the relentless
rain this week with another 54mm of rain in the last 6 days, that’s after 153mm
in November and 169mm in October (all falling in the last two weeks of that
month). <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">It’s safe to say, it’s wet in places but I am really
pleased with how the greens are coping with all this rainfall following the
installation of the drainage combined with the aeration and topdressing
program. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Why are you
closing the putting green? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br /></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Here is a question I’ve been asked recently and thought I should
remind everyone why we are doing this as mentioned in previous blogs. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">At the start of 2021 we saw significant damage to the
putting green that didn’t recover until the following June. The damage sustained
over that winter from too much play (not only the normal pre warm up
play, which would be the same as the course) but significant amounts of
practicing from the same spot. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">This lead to thinning on the green and eventually
grass coverage was lost in areas. The putting green is just too small to cope
with that level of play and following a visit from the clubs Agronomist, his
suggestion in his report was to spread the wear throughout the winter between
the two practice greens we now have. </span></span>This will allow one to recover for a week
while other takes the damage. </p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">We trailed this in 2022 and the damage was significantly
less and we went into the new season in a much better state. Long term we will
need to look at increasing the size of the putting green to cope with the
modern demands of a golf green along with the climate we are experiencing now.
It’s worth remembering this green was built in 1908, designed for the golf
being played at that time, on a clay base as they had no irrigation systems with
lower levels of play. It would always struggle throughout winter.</p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXwRoCRqkhrtjHwpiRmcLjug7hiHzVp3Sh_uz_BfYuUHMO4F7Omx3yL4xqaIb8cGzEnclnJgjW2BuXUBc8SCNz0gfIH7qeIsG7Sxl7kKvAPJ5XkIJ6pqh0eJkixsnqQKlO7BOzf66wj8sTeG0Wi-1HFx0ygugRLda2dr9t0fHbgYZayeo06H2E3jnJbzA/s640/DEC%2023%206.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXwRoCRqkhrtjHwpiRmcLjug7hiHzVp3Sh_uz_BfYuUHMO4F7Omx3yL4xqaIb8cGzEnclnJgjW2BuXUBc8SCNz0gfIH7qeIsG7Sxl7kKvAPJ5XkIJ6pqh0eJkixsnqQKlO7BOzf66wj8sTeG0Wi-1HFx0ygugRLda2dr9t0fHbgYZayeo06H2E3jnJbzA/w400-h300/DEC%2023%206.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br /></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The answer now is, we simply need to switch between the greens weekly to spread the wear. This will only happen through the low growth months

our dedicated team wielding backpack blowers, we've taken on the challenge of
clearing leaves. In the last week the amount of drop from the trees has been persistent,
with the team arriving daily to find these scattered across all surfaces,
normally we have strong winds that mean we have bad areas but this last week
the wind has been down meaning the drop has been wide spread. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">In dry areas the use of the Pro force blower and tractor

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just a very quick note to let you know that we are having issues
with our Trilo.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our Trilo (the huge leaf collector) that goes on the back
of the tractors and would have seen this going around the course or parked at
the high points with the staff blowing towards it of late due to the wet
conditions. </p><p class="MsoNormal">This broke down on Friday, it was hoped the parts would be here
within 24 hours but there has been a delay and we are still waiting. You will
noticed the leaves have started to come down in there droves but this means for
the time being we can only blow these out of the way, the trouble being these
can then get blown back again in the wind. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">So please be aware we
may have more leaves than normal</b> lying around the course but we will be
doing our best to get on top of them with blowers and will get the Trilo back
out as soon as its been repaired. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">What a couple of weeks this has been! The recent weather
has presented an unprecedented challenge. The deluge of rain over the past
couple of months has left the course battling a relentless assault of water. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">With a staggering 297mm of rain in just 36 days, including
32 days of rain, meaning no drying time and it now only taking a couple of
millimetres to push the water table up and over the top making the course
unplayable. The club faces one of the wettest periods on record, not the start
to the winter any of us wanted but I must thank you all for your patience and
understanding during this period as the team have been working to combat this
but sometimes we just can’t beat Mother Nature. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpV3chGg4xd-R9uHB1kQRmf7PJaFRe-mp9swOacBfC8hdOJSOpFta7m1kDKv3_lOj9P8Bzvldryce0gAA2-E9eByyvKQ2836X1VdApBDGOYyncnYFXIjSdYQ3jGMR3emEYZ31gflJpgzrhKyCNGCL0NFxz4ymuDF-8cAX_Q_OdgINS8DDAjAVSee7rVGM/s640/wind.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="295" data-original-width="640" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpV3chGg4xd-R9uHB1kQRmf7PJaFRe-mp9swOacBfC8hdOJSOpFta7m1kDKv3_lOj9P8Bzvldryce0gAA2-E9eByyvKQ2836X1VdApBDGOYyncnYFXIjSdYQ3jGMR3emEYZ31gflJpgzrhKyCNGCL0NFxz4ymuDF-8cAX_Q_OdgINS8DDAjAVSee7rVGM/w400-h185/wind.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Storms<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">That’s already three storms with two very high winded (Ciaran
at night and Babet slowly moving over) and one that came through very quickly (Debi).<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The sad news on the horizon is that Decembers have always
been a month when the course doesn’t actually get any drier. The last five
years have shown the ET rate for these months doesn’t get above 20mm lost and
rainfall in all those years including after last year’s big freeze are dramatically
higher than 20mm. Shorter days and less light are to blame. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Interestingly the data is showing us that Decembers are
getting consistently warmer with 1990’s having only three days a month above 10
degrees, the 2000’s 6 days above 10 degrees and now the 2020’s are averaging 19
days above ten degrees. So the odds of the white Christmas are getting lower
year on year (watch now I’ve said that it will happen). <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Anyway back to the course, this new weather is having an effect
on the course and the industry. With warmer, wet days comes disease pressure
and the team need to be doing lots of work to reduce this pressure, especially
with the withdrawal of some of the chemistries. We are also seeing bigger
rainfall figures and rainfall rates (the speed that rain falls from the sky and
hits the ground) we collect that data too. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><o:p><br /></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><o:p><br /></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip4VMoTiFwp5Hwd-Wsl8zquvQmCYCiq902uKH-SqpN_wDw6gx7ndaeti9DC7lYVlPmENs-t8M2UHg1jO3a7qC-Y3QqaWh7nKa189M4JIJCZaxa2-MJhL_OEmgTEhxyhEcbDu1TfYogkwS_IYUquelRYsbPHk1q5s9QBNIrsAZCnbbhYtNPTfqds_EGK7U/s640/Greens%20nov%2023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip4VMoTiFwp5Hwd-Wsl8zquvQmCYCiq902uKH-SqpN_wDw6gx7ndaeti9DC7lYVlPmENs-t8M2UHg1jO3a7qC-Y3QqaWh7nKa189M4JIJCZaxa2-MJhL_OEmgTEhxyhEcbDu1TfYogkwS_IYUquelRYsbPHk1q5s9QBNIrsAZCnbbhYtNPTfqds_EGK7U/w640-h480/Greens%20nov%2023.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><o:p><br /></o:p><p></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">The Greens <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The greens have taken the rainfall extremely well to date
considering the difference from just three years ago. Nearly 300mm of rain
would have seen these being unplayable for days after the high levels of rain
but the investment made in the rope and pipe drainage has meant in just a few
dry hours the greens are becoming playable and even cut-able (I think I’ve made
that word up) after eight hours of dry conditions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The greens are also being treated with a bio stimulant blend
of liquid oxygen and with penetrant wetting agent technology. This treatment
not only oxygenates the greens but also facilitates the movement of water
through the profile along with the team running the Air2g2 machine which blow
compressed air into the soil profile to break up the compaction in the soil to
aid the water movement to the drain within the green and also gives the soils
some much needed air when its being pushing out of it with the relentless
rainfall. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The team have implemented different strategies to aid the
turf and to help maintain the course through these periods.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">You will hopefully have noticed we have placed black mats
in areas. These mats act as shields, safeguarding the turf from the players,
reducing the chances of slipping and preventing potential damage. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgROoJRTUa0thG0CVRSEjduQLtTWuFUKvHlJyR9DAz0PNZW1rlFqDSempmpo2NrWwbT9JXc2Tt0daxXUEV5zg7RDn1fPPK-vtRVvmqM-jwXo4A3IsekRjbQ5BOwrEF1sPe9F4dnyYfXqKIszLxbSkuNd4Kgxi7FncK4KynGEXCT-wIleww94pUBUbAgICA/s640/Blocked.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgROoJRTUa0thG0CVRSEjduQLtTWuFUKvHlJyR9DAz0PNZW1rlFqDSempmpo2NrWwbT9JXc2Tt0daxXUEV5zg7RDn1fPPK-vtRVvmqM-jwXo4A3IsekRjbQ5BOwrEF1sPe9F4dnyYfXqKIszLxbSkuNd4Kgxi7FncK4KynGEXCT-wIleww94pUBUbAgICA/w400-h300/Blocked.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">You will have also noticed we have been leaving drainage
repairs open (bottom of 3<sup>rd</sup> and 15<sup>th</sup> for example),
allowing for continuous inspections. There is a long-term plan in place to
install new drain lines into these areas, using the open areas as inspection
chambers. This can only be done when the area around the opening has dried out
enough for us to get machinery into it, as we look to improve our water
management for the future.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">We have also started to verti drain the surfaces to move
water off the surface, aid drainage and allow air to the roots of the fairways
in attempt to make these areas more playable too.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">To ensure the safety of golfers and further protect the
course the team increased the roped-off areas around the course. This placement
not only prevents potential accidents but also reduces damage caused by

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I’ve been asked why are team still out on machines but with
the level of leaves falling and for us to be able to present the course and
just do the basics to keep it open we do need machinery, however this is always
the last resort and if we can walk around doing tasks we will. When machinery
is out most of this is kept to the greenkeeping track around the course and not
following the same walkways that golfers take. Greenkeeping machinery around
the tracks isn’t the same as 140 golfer walking the same pinch points over and
over again, day after day and we stay away from the play areas as best we can. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXcqKdHlmQBJQB14bFyXjo4Yyf-iwPwnLFvah3NRddLdnuNiSsMyEcJMXy_ZTYP5Tir0L0mTpnis5MobmkEJIbrP2YAp2p3MWSYhgUVK-ObQXJ4ioa8KWOjUosQ7c9bHuU93hyJSJaARzdEz8iWnOgyIbPyPjFGCgC6nZXKljQ76NDkP6eJcpMX5v6pGA/s640/Mats%2010th.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXcqKdHlmQBJQB14bFyXjo4Yyf-iwPwnLFvah3NRddLdnuNiSsMyEcJMXy_ZTYP5Tir0L0mTpnis5MobmkEJIbrP2YAp2p3MWSYhgUVK-ObQXJ4ioa8KWOjUosQ7c9bHuU93hyJSJaARzdEz8iWnOgyIbPyPjFGCgC6nZXKljQ76NDkP6eJcpMX5v6pGA/w400-h300/Mats%2010th.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><p></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">We have also placed out the winter mats on all the Par’3
and some of the tees that are struggling in the dark wet environments 4<sup>th</sup>,
5<sup>th</sup> and 17<sup>th</sup>. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The winter rules state- “Where present tee mats comprise
the teeing area, when starting a hole from a tee mat the player must stand and
play a ball from the mat. Penalty breach for the local rule: Match play- loss
of hole, Stroke play -two strokes” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">We have left the white tee markers out like we have done
for the last few years as we try to make it to December. This is mainly due to ‘Yellow’
teeing areas being so small that they cannot cope with the level of play in the
winter months, so by spreading the wear around now until December means these
are likely to be in a fit state when we get into the depths of winter but it
also gives the white tees the opportunity to recover for the new season ahead.
Just make sure you check what tees the competitions are being played from
before you go out! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

year's rainfall. October saw 169mm of rain, followed by another 128mm in
November up until the 14th. Year-to-date, Stoneham Golf Club has endured a
staggering 970mm of rainfall, significantly surpassing the previous year's
846mm. What's alarming is the consistent rise in the yearly average, now
standing at 889mm, showcasing a clear trend of increasing precipitation over
the years with the data prior to 2017 averaging at 709mm. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I hope this blog has given you an insight to what’s been
going on around the course to try and get us through this current wave of
weather. We have so much work we would like to get done but for now our
attention is on getting the course open, battling leaves and re building the
bunkers daily after another deluge. It just feels like we are treading water…literally!

The daylight hours actually has a huge impact, more than people would realise by the end of November it be less the eight hours of daylight compared to the summers over 16 hours. The reduction of daylight has a big impact on evaporation and our ability to dry down quicker and became playable again.

For them to honestly look in the mirror and think… “do I really need a trolley, could I not use a pencil bag with half a set of clubs in it?” </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Doing this would dramatically reduce the damage on the course, it would be open more and those that really, really need a trolley due to ill health could still use it. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Unfortunately this was not being applied and left us with the only option being to bring in a trolley ban as a last resort. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">I can promise you that as soon as the weather improves and the course starts to dry out this will be reversed. We do not want to impact people’s enjoyment, we just need to get through these waves of bad weather during the winter months to enable us to keep the course playable and safe. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><span style="font-size: large;">Course closures </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It’s inevitable with this much rainfall, high water table, lower evaporation and lack drying time that the course will become flooded, unstable and unplayable. We will have to make decisions to close the course on safety and damage grounds. This is always the last option but we have a long winter ahead and we need to keep the course in a good enough condition to withstand the rest of the winter. The cost of repairing the damage and lack of growth to aid this must also be taken into account. Again I can promise you this is something we really don’t want to do. We do have the option of the range now, where you can meet friends and play courses from all over the world including Stoneham on Trackman if you want to meet up, hit balls and play a game and have a drink on these really wet winter days. Speak to the Proshop and they help set this up. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnP8zeJMhuIqgXr_5Dsbg7dUBXI2a3cu4PNPNnD7Nk820pqg3nG8PQgTBh4f9SNlnfdylPA8I-4uyNOGbEs3OPktno6gtFs1mvfkLBnCDAHvrSAFspm1bE3sIVCJfg9VbsUwKkEX2VeYovkInkdJ8OXVeBnVegeFP-QTiedLTPOUzz0Zvg4mCU9mlmSM0/s640/October%206.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnP8zeJMhuIqgXr_5Dsbg7dUBXI2a3cu4PNPNnD7Nk820pqg3nG8PQgTBh4f9SNlnfdylPA8I-4uyNOGbEs3OPktno6gtFs1mvfkLBnCDAHvrSAFspm1bE3sIVCJfg9VbsUwKkEX2VeYovkInkdJ8OXVeBnVegeFP-QTiedLTPOUzz0Zvg4mCU9mlmSM0/w300-h400/October%206.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">New seedlings coming up on Aprons<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Silver Lining - Growth Benefits:</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">It's not all bad news, though.

The team have been using cameras to follow drains and find the points of impact from the mole ploughs. We have fixed or left areas open for us to monitor during this wet period.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Looking Back <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just writing to update you all on what’s been happening on
the course and to look at some of the challenges we are tackling at the moment.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As the season comes to an end, we can look back with pride
on how our members represented the club at all levels and in our own
competitions. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This has been ‘another’ tough year from the course side of
things but I think the team have done a fantastic job of dealing with
everything that’s been thrown at us. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The season started off tremendously wet then it promised to
be a good spring but that quickly transitioned into a hot May and June and a
real worry about water and how much we would need kicked in. It still amazes me
how quickly things can change. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In just a couple of weeks the evaporation increases dramatically
as temperatures rise and day light hours increase. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now as we head into Autumn these rolls reverse as the day
light hours draw in, the temperatures drop, meaning moisture levels increase
and the risk of turf diseases (and our own flus and colds) increase. This when
the water tables start to rise. Some areas in Scotland have unbelievable
amounts of rain since the 12<sup>th</sup> September with this weekend hitting a
new level of rainfall with Loch Lomond recording 100mm of rain in one day. That’s
over a month’s worth of rain.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIK3JGpPgSVzF4N6G6ZBlnu_Yyy-pQ316ARCl4b0eujnqkoR6tul18G87SJLFSsxa5eulQCA7fErUH-OGezMSsbsHmMJulkugjfnEcgjXHPVykTownG-cehrdmAINw95lDHUhPqH1zg-uXQr6h9p6O1wQ6wGA-dlYml1nLSJhGMZOYxfUZB5xoZBmSC18/s640/Bunker%20wash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIK3JGpPgSVzF4N6G6ZBlnu_Yyy-pQ316ARCl4b0eujnqkoR6tul18G87SJLFSsxa5eulQCA7fErUH-OGezMSsbsHmMJulkugjfnEcgjXHPVykTownG-cehrdmAINw95lDHUhPqH1zg-uXQr6h9p6O1wQ6wGA-dlYml1nLSJhGMZOYxfUZB5xoZBmSC18/w400-h300/Bunker%20wash.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Washout after 35mm of rain </td></tr></tbody></table>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thankfully we haven’t had that and our wet summer from July
seems good in comparison. We experienced 35mm in one night and due to this
being in the summer and all of the above aiding our investments in the bunker
drainage, the tarmacked pathways and the greens drainage we managed to get the
course open and set up for a 9.30 shotgun, including cutting and rolling
greens. A remarkable achievement on clay soils. <o:p></o:p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_P8lyS4wWBF0dD7g-z7xwcQMgR2FTvEE1QIIDkVVD4SzpXxPKfFxkCJDYX5zvgkydIm7iyhM4CEK2mQduHuL1yimIx_GJ_sG1GgoqZAFULZP_YFe4PZ6Mh4f9t7W7jRTn31rfGGVEq6nQFbNyKLWxHSR6JmGhRV-qCTNHpLyDWQO1rQvCRPWZ9Nzp-gQ/s640/Bunkers%20rake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_P8lyS4wWBF0dD7g-z7xwcQMgR2FTvEE1QIIDkVVD4SzpXxPKfFxkCJDYX5zvgkydIm7iyhM4CEK2mQduHuL1yimIx_GJ_sG1GgoqZAFULZP_YFe4PZ6Mh4f9t7W7jRTn31rfGGVEq6nQFbNyKLWxHSR6JmGhRV-qCTNHpLyDWQO1rQvCRPWZ9Nzp-gQ/w640-h480/Bunkers%20rake.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A team effort to restore the bunkers</td></tr></tbody></table><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Maintenance Works <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the last two days we have been hit with some very heavy
rain. This has meant a change of plan for the planned hollow coring works.
Every time we aerate we have to consider many factors, with rain being the main
one in autumn, it’s welcomed in the summer following the works but not during
the process as we had this week. We had planned to hollow core as I mentioned
in our ‘Maintenance Plans’ that came out back in August. The plan was to hollow
core tine on the 12<sup>th</sup> and 13<sup>th</sup> of October but following forecast
and to try and reduce the amount of water getting into the profile we switched
this process to a scarification. In a hope that we could still hit some of the targeted
thatch without too much water penetrating the soils. We have carried out
aeration works on these back in August so they have had some de-compaction and air
but sometime we just have to make a change in the plan due to weather. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibKcBOb4gaqExnOZ0rpn3HcXP-FLJab9ENtYeYTj_e35l9_nQQm-b-IZsuQNN2DeO-_WzkgT9wpaIpMmqkwZilrjjGRSXGuU6yqkhtAkkC5ilBN21xDjtEe_I9ZiAKGm68O0g-blJ_nB0Ga22l9TEoxJPe8jGBky0v-1rSdIEfe64g7nBryZzHH8I_2Do/s640/Scarifying%20Aprons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibKcBOb4gaqExnOZ0rpn3HcXP-FLJab9ENtYeYTj_e35l9_nQQm-b-IZsuQNN2DeO-_WzkgT9wpaIpMmqkwZilrjjGRSXGuU6yqkhtAkkC5ilBN21xDjtEe_I9ZiAKGm68O0g-blJ_nB0Ga22l9TEoxJPe8jGBky0v-1rSdIEfe64g7nBryZzHH8I_2Do/w640-h480/Scarifying%20Aprons.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Scarifying Aprons</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s worth remembering we use contractors to help us with
process at this time of year in attempt to be done quicker and with the correct
machinery that we don’t own or currently have space to house. Originally we
were due to hollow core Aprons, surround, tees and Fairways. A huge undertaking
but due recent budget cuts we had to negotiate with the contractor to reduce
the work down to just tees, aprons and surrounds. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then with a week to go 25mm of rain appeared on the
forecast. Hence why we made the change. Unfortunately this hit us during the
night between the works and has left some of the aprons and tees wetter than we
want as the water has penetrated the thatch layer but it is still better than
it would have been with a hollow cored and will hopefully dry out with the wind
and a couple of days without the rain. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJR08bSjzq59dFdzO452hoKLzUxHusulU9nBON3h92wt8H0NAO2zpWELETKqCnNu9BMGmnB67HYJh0Luq6VhDJMlpyRKIABF1oMWloVYvA96jwQIE7q2TlIO8pztg7wiX6nWlg7mSGTz1lKpWbMElYKK8aba2vuAXfnNI8ay0nqXTh4zo7kRZ3rRghd4c/s640/Scarifying%20clean.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJR08bSjzq59dFdzO452hoKLzUxHusulU9nBON3h92wt8H0NAO2zpWELETKqCnNu9BMGmnB67HYJh0Luq6VhDJMlpyRKIABF1oMWloVYvA96jwQIE7q2TlIO8pztg7wiX6nWlg7mSGTz1lKpWbMElYKK8aba2vuAXfnNI8ay0nqXTh4zo7kRZ3rRghd4c/w640-h480/Scarifying%20clean.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damage <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
amount of thatch removed during the scarifying works was quite remarkable and
great for our long term goal of firming up our main playing surfaces and I believe
this is something that we have to do more of. There has been some areas of
damage. Weak areas have ripped up and are being divoted to aid recovery. Please
be patient with this. <b>It’s a bit of no pain, no gain.</b> These are the same areas
that are keeping the aprons soft or not allowing us to tighten the cut to make

</span><!--[endif]-->Machinery- In 2016 we
invested heavily into our machinery fleet as the equipment at the time was old
and unsafe. The club have been investing into the machinery fleet ever since
but as some of our core older machines are coming to the end of their life we
are experiencing more and more break downs and machines not available to use.
Some of these repairs are now taking months to repair due to part shortages
with the knock on effect from Covid and Brexit. <o:p></o:p></p><p style="line-height: 16.8pt;">The impact of machinery
not working, breaking down or not working properly does impact the course we
are capable of delivering. Even with a magic wand replacements are now taking
between 12-18 months for delivery. The cost of borrowing money at the moment is
also high with the market when looking at bigger deals. The price of the parts
has doubled and buying second hand would only mean replacing them with machines
in a similar situation to ours. The club are still investing in new and hire machinery
to help but with purchases also increasing nearly 200% our speed of replacement
has reduced because of costs. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>
</o:p></p><p style="line-height: 16.8pt;">Please be patient if
you catch a member of staff or see a machine broken down on the course. There
are reasons why things maybe taking a bit longer than normal.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1e4etGLATctdXxXDS-8ssknrumnxjYOc1kzwZCkZzxumZiUvZduB10sorx64rhTJG8Ie0eWMdSdvWuWYvtBy9uQR3XBBnL7D2HeRZl2UrDj-arNZkHrz9tAJdZTFhdv__jTGJuxDLUetlGkCd1sqAR8v6TQWIft8YetDAwIIw5lTpt1ydjWbOdyFlrQ/s640/Drone%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1e4etGLATctdXxXDS-8ssknrumnxjYOc1kzwZCkZzxumZiUvZduB10sorx64rhTJG8Ie0eWMdSdvWuWYvtBy9uQR3XBBnL7D2HeRZl2UrDj-arNZkHrz9tAJdZTFhdv__jTGJuxDLUetlGkCd1sqAR8v6TQWIft8YetDAwIIw5lTpt1ydjWbOdyFlrQ/w640-h360/Drone%202.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="line-height: 16.8pt;"> <o:p></o:p><b>Conclusion</b></p>
<p style="line-height: 16.8pt;">Looking back over the
season I feel proud with how each and every one of the team have performed. We
have welcomed two new faces with Matthew Strutt Donnelly and Freddy Banks
fitting in perfectly. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="line-height: 16.8pt;">Both Mark Blake and
James Ferris have completed their Diploma in Sports Turf Management Level 3 and
Harry Horn getting Distinction for both his written and practical exams for his
Diploma in Sports Turf Level 2. Levi Pethick was awarded a place on FTMI
(Future Turf Manager Initiative) from BIGGA. Open support, Tournament
supporting, Course walks, Seminars, Webinars and lots of training within the team.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="line-height: 16.8pt;">The clubhouse team with
Shah at the helm and Ian in the Pro shop have all been fantastic to work with. The
MC and Captains committee have been very busy looking at how to improve the business
and the golf side with a focus on sustainability are something to be proud of.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="line-height: 16.8pt;">Coming up drainage
works and repairing damaged drain on the 3<sup>rd</sup> and 18<sup>th</sup>
along with other areas will be on our agenda, the yearly battle with leaves
will start and aiding recovery from the works talked about in the blog plus
some renovations of bunkers and turfing weak areas are all on the horizon. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="line-height: 16.8pt;">I do hope you found
this blog interesting and you can see lots of work is being done.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="line-height: 16.8pt;">Thank you for your
patience with the latest scarifying works. Sometimes we have to break and egg
to make an omelette! <o:p></o:p></p>
See you soon <br />

Open Championship was my first Open, I hadn’t even managed to get to one as a spectator
before. I’ve been to Ryder Cups, European Tour events, I’ve visited some of the biggest and best
courses in the world and have worked at 14 x Vovlo/BMW Tournaments at
Wentworth, The Dunhill Cup at Kingsbarns, 8 x USGA Final Open Qualifying events, Final
Open Qualifying events and hosted Regional Open Qualifying events but I’d never
been to the Open. The oldest major and the one that I remember most growing up
watching Faldo and Seve playing in.<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">This year
Stoneham had three staff members at North Hants to help with Regional Open
Qualifying. Levi Pethick, Mark Blake and James Ferris all enjoyed their time at
the start of this year’s Open Championship. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><b>The Story</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Back in
2013 I was asked to be part of this new training initiative by BIGGA (the
greenkeeper association) called the FTMI (Future Turf Manager Initiative). This
is a training course for the management of golf clubs from the management side
including budgeting, team building, health and safety, policies and staff
training etc. It was felt that most of the training in the past had been based
on agronomy rather than the management and this was going to be a chance for
the top 20 up and coming people from within the industry to be part of every
year, free of charge. Applicants would win a place on this initiative. Luckily
enough our very own Levi Pethick has won a place on the year’s Class of 2023.
Graham Hastie also won a place on this back in 2018. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In 2013 I was
asked to go along one of the original Mentors. The mentors would work with the
training providers, guest speakers and then would work with small groups within
the class and make it industry relevant, share experiences and methods to help
the students. I was luckily enough to be involved for five years and I learnt loads
from the experience and from those other mentors and Students. The original
Class was excellent with most of them now all in Course Managers/ management
roles across the UK.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">One of the
2013 class was James Bledge who at the time was the Deputy Course Manager at
Royal Cinque Ports in Kent. We became good friends following this and shortly
after FTMI James was promoted to Course Manager at RCP and stayed there for 9
years, during this time I went down and helped “Bledge’ as he’s known within
the industry at final Open qualifying events before he moved on to Royal
Liverpool just two years before the Open in the same role. After he was
appointed Bledge started putting a team together for the Open and invited me to
be part of it. Something I will always be grateful for. I thought I had missed
my chance to work at “major’ but in life you just never know what opportunities
are coming. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> Once I had discussed this with my family, </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I spoke to the MC about the offer from Royal
Liverpool and they gave me there full blessing to go and be part of something
amazing and to learn new things that I could bring back to Stoneham. Lastly I needed
the greenstaff to be on board and they were and I must say they done a
fantastic job while I was away. The course was great and as normal a real team
effort.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcpEuXfMKjdueATVvRcgY6nrXpOc_i_kECvz84fL_QD9rBY6snzj7ZoOziZoiEcrJQMrjYGca_2Sz17w129oHARAcCqT80n2rJ1pXOk19E6OafJr4Yf26RKd8VLDc9pZApPgn7gn140Sgw4h9r7NbQxZUy9eRDIIdYKmqKlEcPfH8VZaw5SLPhW_XQP7E/s1600/open%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcpEuXfMKjdueATVvRcgY6nrXpOc_i_kECvz84fL_QD9rBY6snzj7ZoOziZoiEcrJQMrjYGca_2Sz17w129oHARAcCqT80n2rJ1pXOk19E6OafJr4Yf26RKd8VLDc9pZApPgn7gn140Sgw4h9r7NbQxZUy9eRDIIdYKmqKlEcPfH8VZaw5SLPhW_XQP7E/w400-h300/open%201.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>Royal
Liverpool required us to be on site for ten days and following some training
and an exam via the R&A before we could even set foot on site, passes and
badges were done and we travelled up on the 15<sup>th</sup> July. I travelled
with Graeme Roberts (Course Manager at Hayling) and Tom Brearley (Deputy CM at
Parkstone). Both FTMI class of 2013. Graeme would be my roommate for the ten
days, someone I’ve known for many years as his father was Course Manager at

on day 1 we got all of belongings unpacked in our Bunkerbins, You may remember we
had a couple of these in our over low car park for a couple of years during the
Academy construction. These are very basic beds, some storage and a shower room.
Like a container but they worked great. Royal Liverpool had about 26 of them put
into the greenkeepers yard for bedrooms for the staff. This meant we were
always on site and even when everyone had gone home we had Hoylake to
ourselves, the empty grandstands and the empty course. That in itself was an
amazing experience.</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF_rVp9bX91HqcU-fVHkuFGX0SgKocHo0oUSlAB4ed_gIZZcQEyJmZ43Q7YmXwbyjWQZcAB-3fY93gwmnJKF4mBfEO8q35tOYTJDm8ERJtje3sx7ZOU2egcvFp7mp4zfqjln18tOiigHXxI0AAWKi3pAuOnk6meH6TZ3EqFCUnE6LUpMgg9F58FFp5FPY/s640/open%205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF_rVp9bX91HqcU-fVHkuFGX0SgKocHo0oUSlAB4ed_gIZZcQEyJmZ43Q7YmXwbyjWQZcAB-3fY93gwmnJKF4mBfEO8q35tOYTJDm8ERJtje3sx7ZOU2egcvFp7mp4zfqjln18tOiigHXxI0AAWKi3pAuOnk6meH6TZ3EqFCUnE6LUpMgg9F58FFp5FPY/w640-h480/open%205.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Health and Safety </td></tr></tbody></table><br />
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After
unpacking we had a team briefing from James Bledge and the R&A and a
welcome from the Captain of Royal Liverpool. After this we had a Health and
safety training session and then this was followed by a course walk. We walked
every hole looking at areas, discussing details, getting a feel for the course.
This was my first visit to Hoylake and although it plays differently to the
member course it flowed fantastically and I could understand the history of the
club and how important it’s been for golf and the Open Championship. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s very much like the old course in places,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
surfaces were some of the best I’ve ever seen! The members at Royal Liverpool
and any guests had been playing off mats for the entire winter and all season
in the run up to the Open and the Course was closed for two weeks prior to the
Open and a two days after the Open Championship. Areas around the greens where the
balls would gather had been roped off for no play, the roughs had been roped
off all winter so no one could take a trolley into them. The range had been
closed for months leading up it as this was the main tented village area and
around the course the building of infrastructure had started in the March daily
right up until the week before. The size of the ‘contractors compound’ who were
building the infrastructure, running the hospitality, running the media centre,
hard wiring in the internet and TV coverage across the course was huge. It was
like its own village on the outskirts of the course. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

was given areas of the golf course for work. There was a greens team (eight),
hole changing duo, a tees team (three), surrounds team (three) a fairway team
(eight), which separated into a pathway team and fairways team due to the grass
pathways being so big around the course, almost as big as the fairways and the bunker
team (six). The rough only got once during the entire 10 days and this was only
one band around the edge of the fairways and then the thick stuff. Along with
the course teams you had the Mechanic team (five), Irrigation team (three),
Range team (two) and then the R&A and ‘sweep team’. This was James Bledge
his Deputy Paul and First Assistant Chris. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSTJMqGehBBvG-zefdDP-zRjymaZ0GRYtn3R0z5JTYvUeHXuyub0zy1IeGISz4r2RESuh2JvOLmXhGUJqh7XZnOnD0cDwniKPSNYDBggQLtwXP0v049k2Dx1SExGQyn7JLQKgjtC3T7KzeywOfXzZ0Whfz5Wa6RXWTQs8aiQf1mxFvJcsLP_jW90FfwPI/s640/Open%2032.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSTJMqGehBBvG-zefdDP-zRjymaZ0GRYtn3R0z5JTYvUeHXuyub0zy1IeGISz4r2RESuh2JvOLmXhGUJqh7XZnOnD0cDwniKPSNYDBggQLtwXP0v049k2Dx1SExGQyn7JLQKgjtC3T7KzeywOfXzZ0Whfz5Wa6RXWTQs8aiQf1mxFvJcsLP_jW90FfwPI/w300-h400/Open%2032.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Then would walk each hole checking
with the R&A Agronomist who also had a team of R&A staff of five or six
who were stimping greens, clegging greens, moisture probing greens to give live
data and all the cutting of the greens was based on the readings. Their aim was
to get all greens on the course putting as close to the same speed to each
other as possible and I think they got it to within 4 inches which is
remarkable. This meant some greens were being triple cut and others having
their height of cut raised to and mown at a different height in the chase for

normally finish around 6.30am on fairways and would start on the 18<sup>th</sup>

green first due to the proximity of the 18<sup>th</sup> and 1<sup>st</sup>
tees. After this we would go back out on the course and flat rake all the sand
scrapes and anything else that was being brought up during the course

should be punished for the best players in the world.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhncMM24FCloUNawPzp3S1F15Ti4bxCERpwh8mRffzfcRB8a8OpjXkTEX6efDa23iN_96Xn3xviX1-WdaAuUNAbqycq9JL44gLdvbwZEMyUiNGVhXKO5Eotx5HYtnCCVICXL1wGVYrIHdjLYaEcNCfct_GU-IMqbAyEV3TVIgWmx6tWLQbhow4N7FdYATU/s640/Open%2031.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhncMM24FCloUNawPzp3S1F15Ti4bxCERpwh8mRffzfcRB8a8OpjXkTEX6efDa23iN_96Xn3xviX1-WdaAuUNAbqycq9JL44gLdvbwZEMyUiNGVhXKO5Eotx5HYtnCCVICXL1wGVYrIHdjLYaEcNCfct_GU-IMqbAyEV3TVIgWmx6tWLQbhow4N7FdYATU/w640-h480/Open%2031.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal">The big
discussion was the fact the bunkers were level, no incline leaving a 90 degree
angle with the revet face. Ours at Stoneham are between 25-35 degrees, we know
this as each one was tested during the building of them.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After day
one the R&A made the decision to change the raking style slightly and to
move the sand on the faces up one revet turf so less than three inches but it
meant the ball released from the face slightly. After this the bunkers weren’t the
discussion point again and they worked better for all involved. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmQ1bADZkrBuU50PnqBQw6XEQq_p-tpFPLZtWZBcYCEQamPhJGY2LFA6DI1Jc3OnRLK-xD0nSXPdO5Pi2Bk2pTu0lywf3YHKsAIHPcZfaZC3pEiw6w0WXl40_J96qRLv-Jg6JUDH7S5hkCAeLRzQfDa5ym6wQIEq1cSAbZqCMm4RxoCLZADzFfTolZUnE/s1286/Open%2013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="965" data-original-width="1286" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmQ1bADZkrBuU50PnqBQw6XEQq_p-tpFPLZtWZBcYCEQamPhJGY2LFA6DI1Jc3OnRLK-xD0nSXPdO5Pi2Bk2pTu0lywf3YHKsAIHPcZfaZC3pEiw6w0WXl40_J96qRLv-Jg6JUDH7S5hkCAeLRzQfDa5ym6wQIEq1cSAbZqCMm4RxoCLZADzFfTolZUnE/w640-h480/Open%2013.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>After the
Sunday set up we were asked to be ready on each green with a squeegee due to
the high levels of rain coming in. Luckily I was given the 17<sup>th</sup>hole
so I managed to stand inside the ropes with the TV crews and watch as each
group would come through with no chance of rain forming on the “Little Eye” as
its named 17<sup>th</sup> (15<sup>th</sup> for members).<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6VZYLJ5oK7CRVEImvKYRbndsWR0vrs6EnKcic01kX9mTvNFuLuv68VH0Qr1BaInnV0VfLd974rn1BKV1hj66Vg2wOF_giVfyXwNsZ8AkvuRQy_JvU6ZH3QkUVVotekUenD12c6F1aX5EmClMemby_iyYtyrVewMzLzQ1movKiO_1rtm1ELYZXb1a91uQ/s640/open%207.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6VZYLJ5oK7CRVEImvKYRbndsWR0vrs6EnKcic01kX9mTvNFuLuv68VH0Qr1BaInnV0VfLd974rn1BKV1hj66Vg2wOF_giVfyXwNsZ8AkvuRQy_JvU6ZH3QkUVVotekUenD12c6F1aX5EmClMemby_iyYtyrVewMzLzQ1movKiO_1rtm1ELYZXb1a91uQ/w640-h480/open%207.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">I loved this

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We had 36mm
of rain on that last day and I can tell you we were absolutely soaked but the
course didn’t have a puddle on it. I then got to walk up the fairway with Brian
Harman as he played into the 18<sup>th</sup> and hear the crowds. We were told
to stand just off the apron where the fairway would end near the green. In
front of us we watched the winning putt of the 151<sup>st</sup> Open. The presentation
of the most recognised trophy in golf all from the staff members view. Behind
us armed police, then the Marshalls and then the crowds. Once the last Putt
went in and the crowds cheered, there was a feeling of relief and pride amongst
the team. This truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am thankful for
all of those that made it possible for me to play a small part of golfing
history.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjO609ahV-TZr3ZxN5agtyI9CAyNfOweuBviEVmJKnkvqolrgV5J5pYcqfx02lkq20pCjTp9-KaPP29hFfKb1VLz0K5QxtxvGoQ-TWdoBE9PTCE4ESskamuKn9EhY4Hw80kBklscboGDwOOjxy2a0QB3TMy4Q2YlTt8pqCAqBaJesgozAA5awF2cEc54/s1024/Open%20Bledge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjO609ahV-TZr3ZxN5agtyI9CAyNfOweuBviEVmJKnkvqolrgV5J5pYcqfx02lkq20pCjTp9-KaPP29hFfKb1VLz0K5QxtxvGoQ-TWdoBE9PTCE4ESskamuKn9EhY4Hw80kBklscboGDwOOjxy2a0QB3TMy4Q2YlTt8pqCAqBaJesgozAA5awF2cEc54/w480-h640/Open%20Bledge.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Open Champion Brian Harman and James Bledge Links Manager Royal Liverpool GC</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo-pI48cRzGbfJ1L4KrgTgKP_D09hT-cRafzUuh8ZsZm1i1JzU3PcfjLRIX8z9LOiEj9XBWv0yy6jY2RsUOvOu8Zw8rvXKWa5xT2U6lXWq9dYrIWAwZhv8qsKZpOXqPX-cXRmspfKaf2Hmcb5BsBnEL581khLd35_92XkWLavlSCS924eAOGrPKzBEcgE/s1600/open%20corner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo-pI48cRzGbfJ1L4KrgTgKP_D09hT-cRafzUuh8ZsZm1i1JzU3PcfjLRIX8z9LOiEj9XBWv0yy6jY2RsUOvOu8Zw8rvXKWa5xT2U6lXWq9dYrIWAwZhv8qsKZpOXqPX-cXRmspfKaf2Hmcb5BsBnEL581khLd35_92XkWLavlSCS924eAOGrPKzBEcgE/w300-h400/open%20corner.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>

many stories from the Open I could have gone on forever but I hope this gives
you an insight to some of the Open. I learnt a lot from this experience and got
to spend time with some of the best greenkeepers in UK from Royal Dornoch, St
Andrews, Southerness, Carnoustie, Muirfield, Lady Bank in the North to Royal
Cinque Ports, Royal St Georges in the East, Wallasey, Royal Birkdale on the

impacting us now…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>March
ended with 129mm of rain with 22 days of rain in a row and April bringing
another 90mm of rain in total.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I looked
up the data for the winter months (October to April) in 2022-2023 and we
recorded 764mm in comparison last winter (21-22) we had 392mm with our average
being 573mm over the last ten years. Hence why it felt like a long one. It’s
been a wet winter for sure and we experienced a lot more issues with ice and
frosts. Those frozen greens and balls bouncing high in the air when hitting into
them or the sheet ice on pathways seem a long time ago in this current weather.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Growth wise we were running 10 days behind
last year looking at the GDD modelling, only to have this rocket in the last
two weeks in May. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">For years the cold springs have been a real
issue for recovery from the winter play and this year all our modelling showed
it looked the same. We took the opportunity to apply fertilisers to the weak
areas of the course, areas of rough or walkways that we wouldn’t normally feed
but we needed these areas to heal. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Then, the warmth hit at the same time as
the moisture was still in the soil profile and the growth rates really kicked
off. FINALLY A PROPER SPRING! </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgmMq9F0rIhC2YcFb2VtodJxK4H43asQLXXVGXZuKXnt65HHxxWic3kwfSC9UgEsEL2YeOBoO3vKTyOSxx-dbwmhgPVbhv3Vhn0anFi3p5ubG7PFRwAZgNuNHSfKo3VBSCjscBzKyLf8l9Dq01HSr8sJt6KArQhsOiJPUrZdFha9pVtCXdTouL75fD/s1024/James%20England%2023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgmMq9F0rIhC2YcFb2VtodJxK4H43asQLXXVGXZuKXnt65HHxxWic3kwfSC9UgEsEL2YeOBoO3vKTyOSxx-dbwmhgPVbhv3Vhn0anFi3p5ubG7PFRwAZgNuNHSfKo3VBSCjscBzKyLf8l9Dq01HSr8sJt6KArQhsOiJPUrZdFha9pVtCXdTouL75fD/w400-h266/James%20England%2023.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">So what has this meant for us and this

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Greens</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I’ve spoken a lot about the different grass
species we have on the greens. We are a Poa and Bent mix. Here is a blog just
on this from May 2016 which I wrote about greens:- </span></p>

greens</span></a></span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Over
the last few year’s we have really upped our over seeding of Bent grass species
into the greens, this is dovetailing to all the drainage works carried out the
greens. This is now speeding up the recovery time following heavy rainfall on
greens and lowering the moisture levels faster. This in turn means the Bent
grass species has more of a chance of surviving and the soil life improves,
again aiding resistance to diseases and lending itself to the Bent species. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Zbo1r8GvJmocfHw1JckBKLFekSWk5WYpMUow3BMQ8smVygoh3r2k5Dw2q1L7NbHHCwNx8mZnLGUhLCo_nBFw7TS9bqngybjVfu3Hkd8iRd0QZaWrRvcCxhUOFMOt0sWnWU-4Vt9gXfD5rtot7ifgorphOZ4gUUfcGIo8-0R5jfVyYnRVlVPgRZ2z/s640/seed%20popping.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="428" data-original-width="640" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Zbo1r8GvJmocfHw1JckBKLFekSWk5WYpMUow3BMQ8smVygoh3r2k5Dw2q1L7NbHHCwNx8mZnLGUhLCo_nBFw7TS9bqngybjVfu3Hkd8iRd0QZaWrRvcCxhUOFMOt0sWnWU-4Vt9gXfD5rtot7ifgorphOZ4gUUfcGIo8-0R5jfVyYnRVlVPgRZ2z/w400-h268/seed%20popping.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Why is this important? With the reduction
of chemicals (we have now lost another Fungicide in the last month, this means
from 30+ ten years ago we now have 3) we need to look at species that require
less water, less fertiliser, less disease outbreaks. For the golfer, Bent
surfaces can be considered the best and in the UK when we talk about Queenwood,
Wentworth or The Grove, they are pure Creeping Bent greens. </span></p>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Due to our soil profile being clay, we will
never be Poa free or should want to be, but we will go through a tough period
each year between April and May when at first the Bent starts to grow as this
grows at a lower soil temperature than Poa so we get a bobbly effect on the
surface and then </span><span lang="EN-GB">we get our annual seedhead flush on the Poa
grass species. This naturally slows the ball down and green speeds decline
until we can do a few things to help this as we have done in the last six weeks.</span>

Moisture levels are now being maintained due to the warm temps in a safe zone.
We cannot risk going to dry at this point as daily ET is around 4mm per day. We
need enough moisture in the soil that by the end of the day its hitting the
target numbers to survive. Surfactant wetting agents to hold the moisture evenly
in the soils are being applied to not just the greens but all playing surfaces,
helping us reduce the amount water required through irrigation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The grooming, rolling and mowing have

areas and this is something we have ear marked for the summer. You know what
they say “ Do your irrigation works in winter and drainage works in summer” and
this is the plan for us. These wet areas provide us with the opportunity to fix
them and for another challenge for us as we look to keep improving the course. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">6<sup>th</sup> and 12<sup>th</sup></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-GB">When I first started at Stoneham I was told
we had a full drainage system with culverts running from the new (2015) ditch
on the 17<sup>th</sup> all across the 15<sup>th</sup>- the 14<sup>th</sup>- the
12<sup>th</sup> – the 6<sup>th</sup> to the ditch on the right of the 6<sup>th</sup>
in the valley. We certainly have inspection pits in areas but on a closer look
we have realised the culvert doesn’t actually make it passed the 14<sup>th</sup>.
The pipe work between the 6<sup>th</sup> and 12<sup>th</sup> is a mix of old
clay pipes and old white perforated plastic 60mm pipe. This is not good enough
and is something we need to look at to improve this area. We need these areas
acting as main drainage for us to take secondary drainage from. The plan is to
address this later this summer when a break in the golfing calendar will give
us the time to do this quite a big piece of work.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-GB"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjazOhE4Qc7h1guFYv8B2PKreqWv5rHF0qey7d7hIdpNjfYZ3l7EpkaGLzbISpbau07P9cBncsrSWaziut2pp3eczcJ_FIb6Wq86qu5Z1m6M_PgaWSOC_E6CsRANswoqyg9HEFvB_kpIqxeA1zAkmJ_KjRsuin_wMIWLs9qLCq0pjq8hu41sN4SGUKG/s1920/6th%20repair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjazOhE4Qc7h1guFYv8B2PKreqWv5rHF0qey7d7hIdpNjfYZ3l7EpkaGLzbISpbau07P9cBncsrSWaziut2pp3eczcJ_FIb6Wq86qu5Z1m6M_PgaWSOC_E6CsRANswoqyg9HEFvB_kpIqxeA1zAkmJ_KjRsuin_wMIWLs9qLCq0pjq8hu41sN4SGUKG/w225-h400/6th%20repair.jpg" width="225" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The cause off all the problems 6th<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">What’s been done so far…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We have already repaired a break on the pipe
on the right of the 12<sup>th</sup> fairway<b> </b>in April. With the use of
cameras up the drainage pipe we found the area to the right of the 12th and
backing up into the 6<sup>th</sup> fairway. A broken small land pipe was repaired
and the area rodded to increase flow. Then the left handside of the 12<sup>th</sup>
and 6<sup>th </sup>became even wetter. Puzzling us all. During the England Golf
week as the course dried out we noticed this wasn’t improving even though the
rainfall had reduced. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Last week Jack and Levi started looking for
the issue now dry enough to trace the issue back and after a day’s digging a small
leak on the irrigation system on a faulty joint was found on the left of the 6<sup>th</sup>fairway, enough to fill a bath fairly quickly and over time to saturate an area.
This has now been repaired and we should see an improvement to those holes. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Roughs</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We know the roughs have gone mad and the
growth in these areas are making it challenging to find balls and has impacted
on the speed of play. In 2016 we went through the same period but now we have
done a lot of work over the years thinning these roughs out and increasing our
heathland areas. <b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I can only apologise for this. We have over
the years purchased two different types of rough mower. One standard rotary batwing
mower and one cutting and collecting for the eco roughs around the course. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Both mowers have had wheel issue this last
two weeks. The Toro was broken down on the back of the 1st green due to a hub
issue and the Grillo which cuts and collects our eco roughs needed a new tyre
and bearings the higher height of cut kit. Sounds like simple fixes, which they
are but waiting for parts from the states and Italy respectfully has its issues
and our lack of storage space means holding loads of spares for all the mowers
we have is not possible yet. We carry the basics but sometimes you just cant beat
these things. Both mowers are now back fully functioning (the Grillo last Friday
evening) and will be out to take the heat out of the roughs but Mother Nature
will also do her thing in the coming days as they dry out and we will be left
with these golden long roughs and purple heather soon. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Regarding our normal roughs, this year we have
reduced the height from 89mm to 75mm in an attempt to make the roughs more uniform,
what we hadn’t bargained for was the growth we got and them to thicken up the
way they have following the rain and feeds. This isn’t quite US open style but
not far off. Over the coming weeks these will burn off like every year and the
fertiliser will reduce and we will be left with a fairer hazard (remember that’s
what it is). Our aim was always to get grass coverage and a more uniform rough,
nothing else. I know I am not talking to many of you as some never miss the
fairway but for those of you like me, I promise these areas will improve in the
coming days/ weeks. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">During our appraisal process this year, all
the team were asked about, what inspired them to be part of the greenkeeping
team at Stoneham? Many clubs are really struggling and there is an industry
issue with the lack of greenkeepers coming into the business. Finding good quality
staff is almost impossible but we have a fantastic qualified team. All of them
said along with other things but all of them said “being part of a team that
holds Championship tournaments”. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">These England golf events mean we maintain a
championship title, and we host Championship tournaments and we are Championship
club. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The benefits to the membership are more
than this, we attract good greenkeepers who want to be part of it and want to
improve your club and to produce a club you are proud of. Next years event is
one of the biggest competitions in Europe and will bring some of the best players
we are likely to see at Stoneham. I for one cannot wait to host them because
this is a club we should all be proud to be part of!</span></p>

<p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br /></p>
<p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;">Back to what’s been happening since my last blog. February
has been a good month weather wise. </span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;">I know, I can’t believe I am saying that but
it has allowed the course to dry up and for the team to get on with some works
around the course. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;">In January we recorded 118mm of rain in a short period
before the frosts kicked in. February so far we have only had 7mm of rain with
a run of 20 dry days from the 27th of January until the 15th of February. In
fact, we are now needing rain to help wash in the sand from Maintenance week
and for the newly laid turfs around the course. The irrigation system will be getting
fired up early this year. Madness how quick things change! </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;">Looking at the forecast, it looks like things might take a
step backwards weather wise. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;">There has been a Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) which
has taken place over the North Pole, this event can result in a reversal of the
normally westerly flow of the jet stream meaning a more easterly jet stream and
easterly’s normally mean thermals, bobble hats and gloves weather. So don’t put
them away just yet! </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;">Last time this happened in 2018 we went through a very
tough March and April with almost no growth or rainfall registering in the two
months then straight into a dry hot, hot summer. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;">It’s this kind of data that lead us to take advantage of
the weather window we are having in February and for us to carry out a mini
Maintenance week. Our thought process, was to try and get it done while the
temperatures are up, the growth potential is up and the course is dry enough to
get around to top dress greens. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;">We know the winter isn’t over, we will get wet periods, we
will get cold periods, beware of the false spring and all that… but to take
advantage of the window when we could. The grass plants are a living organism
and they need air just like us. This doesn’t always follow the golfing calendar
but having options available to the team to take advantage of the weather are
essential. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwEfyl7lzypSoGzWsF3FBu3EEmpJzhcubJSA0HIaKtfR4KAqiGl85WPR8XGmYH9M99rtgVr9DW4AnBlVOMCwk9QXPRFaEMf5_EL3KPceoqQ_IPiQVl2VTzb9_N4_8PTV4_bV-wSDsqAIf7qzM3q4GvmlAyrmJnZy0Ia1WdlHQ7_B-R5WQKAk7Xeo5i/s640/Greens%20report%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwEfyl7lzypSoGzWsF3FBu3EEmpJzhcubJSA0HIaKtfR4KAqiGl85WPR8XGmYH9M99rtgVr9DW4AnBlVOMCwk9QXPRFaEMf5_EL3KPceoqQ_IPiQVl2VTzb9_N4_8PTV4_bV-wSDsqAIf7qzM3q4GvmlAyrmJnZy0Ia1WdlHQ7_B-R5WQKAk7Xeo5i/w400-h300/Greens%20report%204.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br /></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><b>Why hollow core

weather is essential, normally we roughly get seven waves of growth between
January and May. These can be just a couple of days or up to ten days but these

20mm have gone up slightly and just starting to leave our target area. This
isn’t something to worry about but a little core and scarify in the spring will
pay dividends for the season to help keep us within target. The other advantage
is by going early we will recover earlier than normal meaning we are extending
the playing season. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><b>Aprons and

quite where we want it and this is due to the high thatch content. Working on
our OM levels and sanding will increase year on year as we aim to get closer to
greens characteristics. More data collection will now be done from these areas
to map our progress. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"> </span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2">
</span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2">You may have also noticed a lot of over-seeding works on
fairways and tees. A mix of dwarf rye and fescue seed have been used to help
thicken up the grass swards for the season ahead after a tough winter. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><b>Why the Short
game area or Putting green are being closed?<o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><b> </b></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2">As mentioned in previous blogs, the damaged sustained
during the cold winter months when we have little to no growth can cause real
damage that takes months to repair. This happened to us last year with excess
wear on the putting green and the short game green with the latter taking so
long to repair that moss invasion took hold of the thinning turf.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2">Following a visit from our Club Agronomist, it was
recommended that during this period of the year we should switch between the Putting
green and Short game Area in an attempt to reduce the wear and stress at this
time leaving one green open, like we have always had in the past. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2">Once the growth rates and daylight hour’s increase, both
will return to normal daily opening. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"> </span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2">It’s worth mentioning other clubs in the areas follow a
similar procedure including temporary greens on the course. Sometimes I get
asked why X, Y and Z are open when sometimes we are closed but these clubs are
playing on temporary greens on fairways with all green facilities closed. We
however have a different policy and try our best to stay on main greens all the
time but protecting the course and our greens is a must. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><b>What have the

on various works around the course including gorse and broom removal in an
attempt to help speed up play (not that my ball ever finds in way into any of
those hazards). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"> </span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2">
</span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2">The gorse works are done on a three year cycle with one
area being removed, the second area the new growth from the previous year’s
removal and the third stage being the higher growth that is now to legging and
will be removed the following year as we start the process again. As much as we
all hate playing out of gorse or looking for balls in them, they do serve a
very useful purpose of adding a screen, fantastic colour but more importantly
they are great for invertebrates and an important nectar source in early spring
and early winter when there isn’t a lot else in flower. It’s also an important
part of the heathland habitat so total removal isn’t an option.</span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp_iKyG7xrX-6Dybpq3ZL-4dFwrWPuN0oF7s8iwsZKfkGU6kTLxoJNIEspbKg1Bo3Yu5CKETo6zEN3ffmh-wsNVrbDhUOBZk-0nDWEs9rm8NraHji69rlB95Xk64FBgJKoypK3Z3OBjDbN8Sp6pJIQyfM6J8BCCK9E58zmwBOjnz3P90L5wE0vp2U3/s640/revet%206th.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp_iKyG7xrX-6Dybpq3ZL-4dFwrWPuN0oF7s8iwsZKfkGU6kTLxoJNIEspbKg1Bo3Yu5CKETo6zEN3ffmh-wsNVrbDhUOBZk-0nDWEs9rm8NraHji69rlB95Xk64FBgJKoypK3Z3OBjDbN8Sp6pJIQyfM6J8BCCK9E58zmwBOjnz3P90L5wE0vp2U3/w400-h300/revet%206th.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span class="s2"><br /></span><p></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"> <o:p></o:p></span>Bunker renovations have taken place on 4<sup>th</sup>, 6<sup>th</sup>,

the level of Chafer grubs underneath these turfed areas. This is particularly
concerning because the damage sustained by these can huge. Not only do these
young grubs eat the roots of the grass plants but the damage caused by birds
feeding on them is even worse and something we saw signs of last year. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2">I am expecting to see signs of damage in the next couple of

previous blogs. Our chemistry against these has dramatically been reduced to
one product, which is not fully efficient and requires us to decide which one
of the two major grubs (leather jackets and Chafer Grubs) causing issues to
sports turfs we deal with. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2">A new era of stewardship forms, dates given when we can
apply the product, empty hazard waste collection after and a whole new world of

until after Christmas but actually getting around the course was limited and
the team trying to work off of pathways and blowing leaves to these areas in
attempt to collect them up in areas with minimal impact, which in the
conditions was hard, add into this the high winds of late and the leaves
blowing back out of the woodlands or storage areas, this has made this a
constant battle. The team have been going around the course blowing leaves out
of heather, long roughs and trying to find pockets of areas we were unable to
reach until now for clearance. It’s a tough day with 25kg blower on your back
blowing 237mph.

the course including on areas we have been struggling to maintain grass on

natural look to the bunker. Luckily, in all the years I’ve been here I haven’t
seen anyone play a shot from that area, behind the bunker yes, in the bunker
yes but never from to rear bank so hopefully this won’t affect too many and

far has had 116mm. The figures show it’s been a wet winter but one of the
biggest issues is the dry down days or lack of. It rained 28 out of 29 days from
December into January before this cold spell and let’s remember when the ground
is frozen that water isn’t going anywhere. It’s still there and causing us
issues and won’t take much rainfall to top it back up once the frosts thaw. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are positives from this amount of
rainfall. Firstly it actually shows us areas we need to work on and to plan for

<p class="MsoNormal">This is a question I am getting asked a lot but this is
something that has been caused by the weather mentioned above.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t remember a
time when our water table has been so full and over flowing following high
levels of rainfall and then we have gone into two big frost periods so quickly.
This has meant we have lying water, puddles and leaching from banks that are
now freezing and turning to sheet ice. Our daily set ups include salting
pathways during this spell but we cannot salt turf as it will kill it, so our
only option is we need to be patient until the frost lifts and the water drains
down. <o:p></o:p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz9AcWvI4R3p5nMsa87GoM2w_Zor3P25T4kbgEdFweMwMcwHt2bcpHnxLAavetLvjMsBYg_WxjXtvvk-v7Jdqg5kjG5Dxb7eRLYA-y5KG53cnFaED85wkYOL9JAfinyeE-fLIUA_fal-liry7L6-oiQaiAzqaVZdlVOU3_RbmI94Shb1B80A4b2dft/s640/ice%20pathways.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz9AcWvI4R3p5nMsa87GoM2w_Zor3P25T4kbgEdFweMwMcwHt2bcpHnxLAavetLvjMsBYg_WxjXtvvk-v7Jdqg5kjG5Dxb7eRLYA-y5KG53cnFaED85wkYOL9JAfinyeE-fLIUA_fal-liry7L6-oiQaiAzqaVZdlVOU3_RbmI94Shb1B80A4b2dft/s320/ice%20pathways.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">16th Pathway</td></tr></tbody></table>
<p class="MsoNormal">But why the back 9 I hear you ask… The back 9 tends to have
most of the low lying areas if you think about the difference from the 1<sup>st</sup>,
3<sup>rd</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup> compared to the 17<sup>th</sup> and 15<sup>th</sup>
or the change from 6<sup>th</sup> and 7<sup>th</sup> across to the 12<sup>th</sup>
and 14<sup>th</sup>. The water is shifting to these areas as it naturally does
all the time but these areas have just frozen solid and turned to ice before it’s
had chance to get away. This hasn’t improved in the last two days, in fact it’s
got worse as another permafrost has developed. Our worst areas are on the 12<sup>th</sup>
fairway, 14<sup>th</sup> fairway and 15<sup>th</sup> fairway with slopes and
areas around the 10<sup>th</sup> and 11<sup>th</sup> and then huge areas of
sheet ice on the 18<sup>th</sup> and 17<sup>th</sup> paths as you can imagine
the flow down the 18<sup>th</sup> and from the range to these areas. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Despite daily salting of these pathways, these then thaw
slightly and it washes the salt away and then freezes again from the evening. This
is now leaving ice layers on top of ice layers making it unsafe. We have had a
couple of injury’s within the team this week just trying to inspect these
areas. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Why are the bunkers
so solid? <o:p></o:p></b></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">As above, the amount of water flowing through the bunkers is
extremely high as they are low points around the course. Again these have just
frozen solid and need time to thaw out.</p><p class="MsoNormal">You may have noticed that some of the liners have been on
show due to the wash downs, this again is simply down to the 18mm of rain we
had on the day 18<sup>th</sup> of January and that night the temperatures
dropped to -6, leaving the wash downs solid. We have been working I the
afternoons to try and pull these up and have now gone out with new sand in attempt
to cover these over to stop balls bouncing out where possible. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>I have been asked questions about the puddle of water
sitting in the first 12<sup>th</sup> bunker on the right of the fairway. This doesn’t
happen often but this bunker was drained into the low point in the woods
between the 12<sup>th</sup> and 11<sup>th</sup>. This area is a soakaway and
normally copes well with the amount of rainfall we have and as it sits above
the 11<sup>th</sup> ditch it naturally empties towards it. However with amount
of rainfall experienced in the last month, the low area and soakaway are now
full to the brim and there is nowhere for the water to drain too. Once we get
some drying days (un-frozen) the water table will lower and this will return to
normal. It’s something we can pick up when doing drainage works in that area,
with us connecting this soakaway to the ditch at the 11<sup>th</sup>. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>What’s happening with
the 7<sup>th</sup> Green? <o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b></p><p class="MsoNormal">The 7<sup>th</sup> green was always the green we set our
standards off. It gets very dry and stays pretty firm. Our yearly data has
showed it normally stays within our target areas more than most greens and was
the reason we decided it didn’t need drainage. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Fast forward to this winter and it is unbelievably wet and
very, very soft. If I am honest we aren’t 100% sure why this is but I have a
couple of ideas and this is something we are investigating. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Has the recent irrigation works done something? Maybe? As
the pipe work is mole ploughed the bullet ahead on the plough is slightly bigger
than the pipe to pull it through and this leaves a clay ploughed trench around
the pipe. It is possible that this has hit a drain unknown to us and now with
all the water this is gathering and running around the outside of the pipe to
the low area at the front of the green. We know it isn’t the irrigation system itself
as this have been drained down and fully blown out, leaving no water in the
system. This kind if issue is very common and something most clubs that have
installed irrigation recently tend to go through. We even have concerns about
this happening on the 1<sup>st</sup> hole with the water diverting away from
the green to the right hand side. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The other option could be, have our parameters changed… Have
the greens that were once so much wetter than the 7<sup>th</sup>, became better
performing and the new norm following the drainage works. Our data is showing
the 7<sup>th</sup> green is sitting wetter than the 6<sup>th</sup> and 8<sup>th</sup>
for example. Are the other greens draining down at a faster rate and our once
bench mark green has been left behind… This is a high possibility and the data
tends to back this up. Do we now have to
drain this green? This is something we need to discuss as club and from member
feedback but until then, we will be investigating all we can and the green I am
sure will dry back down once we have the right conditions. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>So what have the team

tree on the 7<sup>th</sup> a few years ago have been showing signs of taking on
the damp. You may have noticed them, getting darker and harder to read despite lots
of oiling and protection being applied. This is something we didn’t expect but
have since found out that’s why Chestnut isn’t used a lot for course furniture.

for us was the 43mm of rain that fell during that period of time on top of

<p class="MsoNormal">What we were left with following the thaw was greens that
felt “like walking on pillows” is how a fellow Course Manager explained it to
me when describing their greens. There was no doubt they were very soft and felt
like we had carried out an aeration practice to them. This was due to the
moisture that was already present in the soil then freezing and expanding in
the soil profile, puffing (scientific word <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span>)

soils until they settled down like normal, the now new bigger pore spaces
between the soil particles filled with the heavy rainfall meaning we were left
with soft greens.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlPunEfJ97zTw3LbpwrNAC2T_rDi-df7_txhr3ZsWdHjXRbyxQEO-rGewaPl3LK2vXQv-WdsRGEYWITcRx93rNhUl2UKcVdFLPNpvNM1VyeWYZOzNrWOAHooP0ZGwb86qKWUidXOGEt06eMQ0Q01JkDC7qOR90Jbv_F2wUmTWV8RlWh6SsqmW7YIJH/s640/7th%20foot%20print.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlPunEfJ97zTw3LbpwrNAC2T_rDi-df7_txhr3ZsWdHjXRbyxQEO-rGewaPl3LK2vXQv-WdsRGEYWITcRx93rNhUl2UKcVdFLPNpvNM1VyeWYZOzNrWOAHooP0ZGwb86qKWUidXOGEt06eMQ0Q01JkDC7qOR90Jbv_F2wUmTWV8RlWh6SsqmW7YIJH/w300-h400/7th%20foot%20print.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Foot printing on the 7th green <br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We knew just like after aeration works, these would settle
down and with the rope drainage assisting by constantly reducing the water
table once unfrozen and to prove this, a green that is normally one of driest
year round, the 7<sup>th, </sup>which is one of only two that haven’t been
drained sat as the wettest and took the longest to recover. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The negative with the frost was not only the superficial damage
to the surfaces with black marks, that will go yellow in the coming days before
returning to green but the root shear, which we have seen no signs of
thankfully. The positive is the mini
aeration caused by the expanding frost within the soil, giving us nature’s natural
aeration with no damage to the surfaces by machines. Every cloud and all that!</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What have the team

some of the leaves are still hanging on to the trees, making the never ending

and all the leaves are down by now. Admittedly these have been getting later

to still see trees with leaves on them going into Christmas is a new one on me
and shows that there has been a real shift in the seasons.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

ditches again. Not only getting the leaves out of them to keep the water
flowing but we’ve now started clearing the sediment out of the bottoms with our
mini digger. Something we haven’t been able to do sine our last digger got
stolen in 2015. You may have noticed this is being left out on the course,
hidden away from view as there is always someone watching the diggers… <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Final thoughts <o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">

nearer to our yearly average. That’s 761mm of rain to date with more falling as
I sit and write this out and another 40 odd mm predicted between now and New
Years Eve, meaning we will hit around 800mm less than my prediction of 850mm
(but who would have imagined the frost period we just had, it’s a one in ten
year chance on average). This gets us closer to last year’s 806mm after a wet
summer, dry winter that year and 100mm short of our yearly average. Incredibly
at the end of August we were just over 300mm… Not a bad effort from Mother
Nature to catch up.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqnrZmemk2S2fl8NnzMVTqUhFBayTj93CsvrhBI3K6j-_OAZuvLp6C_jLW3QX6vt9I0XiyD8eaqLhJ_kDieLRBNGzJzUEAH5yaQebb9L3GbCDYtsT67uTdQYmK-g6NL5IyFBrhqrwHrZM0rjxsGCdYwCJAX73gyMnTCZyjVgRBZ_omdfUk1Xnm76p6/s1125/dec%2022%2010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="904" data-original-width="1125" height="257" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqnrZmemk2S2fl8NnzMVTqUhFBayTj93CsvrhBI3K6j-_OAZuvLp6C_jLW3QX6vt9I0XiyD8eaqLhJ_kDieLRBNGzJzUEAH5yaQebb9L3GbCDYtsT67uTdQYmK-g6NL5IyFBrhqrwHrZM0rjxsGCdYwCJAX73gyMnTCZyjVgRBZ_omdfUk1Xnm76p6/s320/dec%2022%2010.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>No one wants the run up to and the Christmas period to be

When I mean challenge, I mean doing what we can to mitigate the issues, the new irrigation system helps mitigate the drought, we have now taken delivery of a new trencher to allow us to start draining areas for the winter months with a special emphasis on moving water with more gulley pots and shaping to add to those already done to move surface water quickly after the heavier downpours, this water can then be linked up and eventually harvested in a reservoir (hopefully if planning goes through) and the sustainable future becomes a reality.
</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>So let’s look in a bit more detail about the recent weeks
and current trends and what this has meant for us as a team.</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>November 2022 has ended up the 2<sup>nd</sup> wettest month
ever recorded, only narrowly missing out on top spot by 3mm with 224mm of rain falling.
The highest amount we have had at Stoneham was October 2020 with 227mm
following a mini drought that summer too but the big difference to this year,
in 2022 the 224mm came on the back of a wet period of rain 98mm in September
and 91mm in October.</p><p class="MsoNormal">This made things very hard for the team, we reduced our cutting

this time of year when the young are feeding on the roots. Luckily, we took the
opportunities between the weather windows to apply all of the above. The
conditions might not have been ideal but these works are essential to keep the
course playable now and in the future. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I have some who ask why a sprayer can be out on the course
when we are asking golfer to carry their bag if possible.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The answer to that is simple, we need to carry out the
works, the team are trained not to drive in the same patterns and avoid as many
wet areas as we possibly can, I am not saying we never get it wrong but
considering the amount of time we are going around the course the damage is
always minimal or superficial. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">

frosts form when the vapour in the air comes in contact with surfaces that are
already freezing. Ice crystals then form in patterns that look like little
beards on the grass plant, hence the word Hoar which come from the old English word
‘Har’ which mean ‘hoary’, ‘gray’, ‘old’. Perhaps as the crystals resemble a
beard on an old man.

team. Our Frost holes that are covered in cup covers and Astroturf top so the
surfaces are smooth are frozen solid. Something that’s never happened before
for us. The greens have been so firm from the permafrost that we are unable to change
holes. The frost period normally comes after the leaves are down in January to
March but this time the leaves are falling late due to the mild wet November
meaning the leaves are frozen to the surfaces and take a lot long to clear off
the playing surfaces. It does leave a very cool imprinted pattern on the greens
and tees afterwards.

I thought I'd share our thoughts on this. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Last year the level of damage carried out on the putting green was substantial and was highlighted by the clubs Agronomist Phillip Armitage in his report. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The damage from last winter didn't really recover with some marks still evident. The odd putt to warm up was not the issue but the level of putting drills. At times last winter the green was being used more and more for putting drills, towels being placed on the ground and stood on in an attempt to protect the grass or golfers standing in the same spots over and over. Even with the towel down the damage was too great plus no growth meant we couldn't get the grass back until later in the season. </p><p class="MsoNormal">This year to help spread the wear, we will be shutting both the putting green and short game area. We will alternate these week on week in a hope to spread the damage around and allow some recovery. The short game area will also benefit from the recovery time during these deep dark days of winter. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The only reason we are having to do this is to still allow those who which to practice the chance. On the main greens due to the nature of the course, less practicing goes on and the wear is naturally spread across the greens surfaces. I hope that make sense! </p><p class="MsoNormal">Updates will be made via the website and answerphone plus the sign saying 'Green Closed' but this wont be forever and will be monitored weekly. Once we start to see growth rates increase we will return to normal. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>The coming days… </b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMyMd54UEvZfN1ZSxQub5ut_0XOUw6wi-IR_p6nEOtUQzUVSrDifA4Ar4TATMVQHf2wOQmDjp1qq2324OWBxkm7dN9R_LSzYeeaQBfQO8GqSojb_LqO9E4bmoNmt6gB_Zx8Y9jktSeOPixbjWneVwBdoJMTNz5O4cjtModLSAqKcLkR2SDn-2w-n-m/s640/rainfa%2022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="423" data-original-width="640" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMyMd54UEvZfN1ZSxQub5ut_0XOUw6wi-IR_p6nEOtUQzUVSrDifA4Ar4TATMVQHf2wOQmDjp1qq2324OWBxkm7dN9R_LSzYeeaQBfQO8GqSojb_LqO9E4bmoNmt6gB_Zx8Y9jktSeOPixbjWneVwBdoJMTNz5O4cjtModLSAqKcLkR2SDn-2w-n-m/w640-h424/rainfa%2022.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><b><br /></b><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The danger now is the low pressure system arriving on

benefitting from this period being the litigators. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEistZiZR-LNv8dV9mBlYacXkISitUVxV8r_bvTW4P5jWLFRzYi5RjGybs0MwEqnIpfKc54ePynEodTb_8rMWr0G20my2GkgSDd9x9uSpM3Ss81qvf3MweNnNuiVRpTZl3FOiLENjXH1RT1rNtOpFSsGqgcvQQuEExjgSUd1iObtq66FlXzdb-w9DOYY/s300/rootshear.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="284" data-original-width="300" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEistZiZR-LNv8dV9mBlYacXkISitUVxV8r_bvTW4P5jWLFRzYi5RjGybs0MwEqnIpfKc54ePynEodTb_8rMWr0G20my2GkgSDd9x9uSpM3Ss81qvf3MweNnNuiVRpTZl3FOiLENjXH1RT1rNtOpFSsGqgcvQQuEExjgSUd1iObtq66FlXzdb-w9DOYY/w400-h379/rootshear.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Our other issue will be as the top becomes soft and the

down south, it’s called sudden thaw dynamics or 'Rootshear'. The roots will still be frozen into the
ground and the top mobile, meaning as it’s walked on the two layers separate and
rip the roots of the grass plant. This can cause serious damage. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">

IF the forecast is correct I can see the course being closed, even though it
will look like its fine to the eye. We will be out testing the soil profile and
will open it up as soon as it’s safe to do so. This is one of the reasons we’ve
remained open during this period compared to almost all the courses in the area
which have been shut for a week now. We will always keep the course open if it’s
safe to do so but some days you can’t beat nature and we need to be patient. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At least we have the driving range so the golf swing can
still be honed while the course becomes safe. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">That’s enough from me this week. Its all about damage mitigation this month as we now enter those months with low daylight hours and no growth. As a positive note to finish on, its only a week to go before the days start to get longer and our journey back to spring begins! <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqFr3ajAvslAcHWIkzy4dxb04ki1HRQFFI8RGtNWphuuNPfIrHaxPIj0piEtIUI0heelmkDtnbxtOQb88tLrxEp1XgzlKUKEEGL2043k8-o9_fxzeQjEOCqHYqpb6mbI4BPE6_K55OHinXOnduUsjm9XPIICV-NGYvk1XlV3rdriLoFhNSH04MWFXx/s640/simons%2011th.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqFr3ajAvslAcHWIkzy4dxb04ki1HRQFFI8RGtNWphuuNPfIrHaxPIj0piEtIUI0heelmkDtnbxtOQb88tLrxEp1XgzlKUKEEGL2043k8-o9_fxzeQjEOCqHYqpb6mbI4BPE6_K55OHinXOnduUsjm9XPIICV-NGYvk1XlV3rdriLoFhNSH04MWFXx/w640-h480/simons%2011th.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Finally a
chance to sit down and write another blog. It’s been a while and what a season
we have had. Record breaking temperatures and the benefit of a full irrigation
system in a year described as the hottest in 500 years. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">I know
from our data the green performance has been higher this season compared to the
last five years and with the benefit of the investment made by the club we
managed (at a cost) to keep grass coverage on the fairways and playing
surfaces. I have no doubt we would have been in the same situation as we were
in 2018 if we hadn’t installed the irrigation system. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTabzLTZxMHzIRYKV-bCGbcUqMpTM9yBrEBMGF2n1EufYe9A-tnuccrPAKnmxA3Y7xWDZB7cOZfSGGsZONhEsC-oIChGglsJs39A5H-HCq3i6shXTlc1J8E35E10m6ncdv4W52AZEEA-D0AZp2TYxAfDTewRHZ5YiFgYmzUSmelTYo1JwI24KWL5I8/s640/11th%202018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="364" data-original-width="640" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTabzLTZxMHzIRYKV-bCGbcUqMpTM9yBrEBMGF2n1EufYe9A-tnuccrPAKnmxA3Y7xWDZB7cOZfSGGsZONhEsC-oIChGglsJs39A5H-HCq3i6shXTlc1J8E35E10m6ncdv4W52AZEEA-D0AZp2TYxAfDTewRHZ5YiFgYmzUSmelTYo1JwI24KWL5I8/w400-h228/11th%202018.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">11th Hole 26th October 2018</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy55SPXAmzdmJLwy4jgvkPnr6474tO2A7WGDvBDEEovIIfInsimP3WGWvpqqaUnAfo7GrozlW2LbxWjEmjQkEMRQeu69ddTC7oYbkXDMylRzzByLwWIaSj8P_Hx-PEfmQ6GNIiFQYDp7T6MEXF2dgLO92kDKwqDcpL54374AUapgn1OGKoovVjCH0C/s640/11th%202022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy55SPXAmzdmJLwy4jgvkPnr6474tO2A7WGDvBDEEovIIfInsimP3WGWvpqqaUnAfo7GrozlW2LbxWjEmjQkEMRQeu69ddTC7oYbkXDMylRzzByLwWIaSj8P_Hx-PEfmQ6GNIiFQYDp7T6MEXF2dgLO92kDKwqDcpL54374AUapgn1OGKoovVjCH0C/w400-h300/11th%202022.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">11th Hole 26th October 2022 </td></tr></tbody></table><br />
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">If we look
back at 2018 I can remember the huge sums of money needed to repair the course
and the months of work to get some kind establishment back. I don’t think the
fairways fully recovered until 2020. Again after lots of hollow coring, over
seeding, staff hours and patience from the membership. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">So the
good news our insurance policy against the drought was needed this year and the
irrigation system has us going into winter in a better place than in previous
years.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Now we
face Mother Nature ‘levelling things up’ this was always going to happen after
a relatively dry winter last year and drought summer. We are still a long way
off our yearly rainfall average with only 601mm falling year to date and our
yearly average at 900mm, with September recording 97mm, October 91mm and
November so far (11/11/22) up to 107mm of rain so far. That’s nearly half the
yearly rainfall falling in the last nine weeks. If I was a betting man I would expect
us to be finish the year around 850mm meaning another 249mm of rain between now
and the end of December. That’s a lot of water and something that will become
more common as the climate changes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Course Closures <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The impact from all of this rain has meant the course has
become saturated at times and slippery in areas meaning walking around safely
can be an issue. At this time we have to make call and sometimes this means the
course will be <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">closed</b>. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Like in any other sports like Football, Cricket, Tennis and
even Rugby (my son had a game called off just last week as there was a risk of
drowning… yes drowning as players end up under one another with their face in
the water laying on the pitch). This is only a problem in golf for those that
lay on the greens to line up the putts but sometimes we need to make a call on
safety and that’s final. When this happens we move the staff onto areas they
can work or catch up on jobs back at the workshop and around the clubhouse or
even in the ditches to help drainage flow. Safety must and always comes first.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyzhvG6329vDCSDihMGunm7KE2UxBW8qybm4GhmvGiL6z7bXSdh5xUp_O9ObCKfykkH5cJ2AnSR68LN0CBJsPktaG5QHgsF60KmIa7p2qhin2u5LecHUuV3P9N18sVCB2Sz0g9IoEvcZk271UlL82ET6Nj2sA3gTa-kV6bPq5zCFy_MxJYjk6ceH6t/s640/17th%20wet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="482" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyzhvG6329vDCSDihMGunm7KE2UxBW8qybm4GhmvGiL6z7bXSdh5xUp_O9ObCKfykkH5cJ2AnSR68LN0CBJsPktaG5QHgsF60KmIa7p2qhin2u5LecHUuV3P9N18sVCB2Sz0g9IoEvcZk271UlL82ET6Nj2sA3gTa-kV6bPq5zCFy_MxJYjk6ceH6t/s320/17th%20wet.jpg" width="241" /></a></div><br /> <o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">We will also use our agronomic qualifications and
understanding of site when looking at implementing closures, winter mats or trolley
bans. How much damage can we sustain? How much will this cost to rectify? Will
this damage be recovered in time for the main golfing season? This and so many
more thoughts as we make a decision. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I can promise you that any course closure is the last thing
we want to do, as greenkeepers we would love to have the summer months all year
round and have no issues with course conditions but we are in the UK and our
weather patterns are varied. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Further
north of us most of the countries end up with snow cover being the natural course
closures, some for several months. Below us the weather patterns a lower altitudes
tend to be drier or similar to us and even nearer the equator hugely different
with completely different grass species. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Even locally there are huge differences from north to south,
east to west, especially rainfall and temperatures with the west being normally
hit the hardest rainfall wise and the east bone dry and struggling with high
temps and if we break this down even more locally we see huge differences between
Parkstone, Hayling and even Corhampton to us rainfall wise. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I remember Charlie (greenkeeper here for 44 years, who
worked with Pete Marsh who worked 50 years at the club) telling me “it doesn’t rain
here in the summer”, do you know what, he was right!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">We would watch daily radars tracking in and moving around
the Isle of Wight and splitting towards Parkstone and Hayling. We have low
levels of rainfall compared to the other sites but as the direction of the jet
stream moves for winter we get the rainfall. The beauty now is we can all see
each other’s weather stations but that’s not all to the puzzle and we
understand that. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><b>The soils <o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">Perhaps the biggest difference locally are the soils and
these make a huge difference. Clubs perceived similar terrain wise and nothing
like us. Hockley and the Winchester Courses are on chalk with the other
Heathland Courses like Parkstone, Ferndown, North Hants, Liphook and Broadstone
all on sand. Hayling as we know is a links course on sand and gravel so it couldn’t
be more different. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">At Stoneham we are on London Clay, 150 meters deep pure
clay, this gives us an advantage in the summer months of staying greener longer
meaning we require less irrigation to maintain a good coverage compared to
those on sand. This summer has been hard year on those courses as the required
amounts of water to keep them fully alive against taking into account
evaporation was almost impossible. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">However during the winter months those table turn
to them having the advantage, especially if we have a lot of rain days</span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><b>Rain days <o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">What do I mean by rain days? Well not the amounts of
rainfall, like I have been talking about above but the amount of rain days.
Days or hours which allow for drying down times. The beauty of our new soil
scout technologies in the greens means we can track a greens performance in the
summer for play and its decline to un-playable in the winter and back to
playable with hard data to back this up. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">We have just recently, since the 22nd October gone through
a very wet period, especially from the 1<sup>st</sup> November with one dry day
out of seventeen days. Meaning the drainage has been working but this cannot
cope with the level of rainfall and no drying time. It felt relentless for the greenstaff
on the course. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE-BRidv-rUK7gjKdEWujEwld3kVLOLKovLCxXwzHYirDjHTwioOxlZ7oFYfoDok0vR4vj1praYs_OtUll50I7V5Eiuf_wVrbzmNRK_l2Q66qmbDMw1Oor9HUU0-TnYl6Sk6VZxyWq3TIcO5bnlO8y_PrterM4aYGAet0RRxbWXFrSSm10pL268BDI/s1167/18th%20green%20moisture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1167" data-original-width="1125" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE-BRidv-rUK7gjKdEWujEwld3kVLOLKovLCxXwzHYirDjHTwioOxlZ7oFYfoDok0vR4vj1praYs_OtUll50I7V5Eiuf_wVrbzmNRK_l2Q66qmbDMw1Oor9HUU0-TnYl6Sk6VZxyWq3TIcO5bnlO8y_PrterM4aYGAet0RRxbWXFrSSm10pL268BDI/w385-h400/18th%20green%20moisture.jpg" width="385" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">soil scout sensor in 18th green showing heavy rainfall and dry downs highs of 56%</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span class="s1"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">

rainfall patterns coming in over the start of November. You can see immediately
when the rain stops and the greens go from a very scary 50+% moisture content,

the local soils, with a lot of the better courses actually clay lining the
greens even if they were on sand to hold water in the winter. Stoneham had an
abundance of clay and it was this clay that was used. Again another issue is
not all greens have been made the same like now in the modern era, all greens
profiles are made the exact same way. This gives consistency when dealing with
moisture and is easier to manage. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">Stoneham like most from before the 1990’s were typical old
clay push up greens designed to hold water in the winter as irrigation systems didn’t
really get going until the 1970s. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">
</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">Golfs history for the inland courses would normally be
played in the summer months and on a links in the winter months. Now we tend to play all our golf at one course and are making changes to these courses to allow them to be played all year round. </span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"> <o:p></o:p></span><b>Drainage</b></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">Our recent drainage works in the greens has now given us an
outlet and overflow for a bath if you like and will cope with rainfall, as long
as we get a break to allow it to work. When comparing it with sand based short
game area green which doesn’t really change, you can see how far apart these
are in the winter but the cost of renovating all greens to a sand based green
would be in the millions now and completely unachievable and something I am not
sure I would want to do. We have fantastic greens and great complexes which are
a challenge and can catch you out, such amazing design work by Willie Park 114
years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">Talking of drainage, we have finished hopefully our last
two greens to be drained with the rope system. You will have noticed the 12<sup>th</sup>
and 13<sup>th</sup> have been done in the middle of October and are recovering
well. We have cored the drain lines twice and would normally go again before
the season starts again to help smoothness. This now means we have drainage in
all greens except the 7<sup>th</sup> and 16<sup>th</sup>. These have been left
as they have a higher sand content or sit very firm all year round and our data
is showing they aren’t a concern at the moment. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"> </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">In the future we may need to add a secondary or third type
of drainage system to get the greens to perform even better. This maybe sand or
gravel banding. Meaning small slits across the greens back filled with sand or
stone. This is being monitored daily now. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"> </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">This now means some of the greens 5<sup>th</sup>, 13<sup>th</sup>,
14<sup>th</sup>, 17<sup>th</sup> have pipe drainage and rope in them with the 1<sup>st</sup>
and the 10<sup>th</sup> also having gulley points in them along with the rope drainage.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">The investment means quicker dry down times, meaning we can
get the course back into play quicker, even though sometimes it might not feel
like that, it could actually have been worse. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1"> </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">The club have recently placed an order for our own drainage
trencher which will allow us to continue installing drainage in the worst areas
around the course in house giving us flexibility to do this at the right times.

to give you all a go at various length shots for feedback. Finding a mat that fulfils

them around the tees to spread the wear. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">Our long term aim and something we are working with golf
architect James Edwards of EDI on is new teeing areas. Areas that are fit for
purpose of a modern club. Big enough to cope with winter golf meaning no mats
are required. WHS compliant, free draining and away from shade issues and with an
option for a variety in shots from various tees fitting for the standard of player.
<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">We hope to be able to show something on this soon but for
now we only have 0.6 ha of tees compared to the minimum requirement for the modern
game being 1.5ha of teeing ground. Another example of how the game has moved on
since its original design. Until then we may need to add winter mats on tees to
cope with the lack of recovery or during particularly wet periods. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s1">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One
thing I will say is the Bluebell stands and gorse look particularly good this year and
Cow Parsley & Campion will soon be joining them along with the Foxgloves. </span></p>

I mentioned in the last blog, April had been a problem month for growing grass
and one of the reasons was high E.T days. This was caused by the wind and not
like the summer months which are mainly due to heat. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Now
as we head into May things are starting to warm up naturally but we will still
have those cold mornings when you grab and jumper or cardigan before leaving
the house but things are warming up especially this weekend. Normally
consistent temperatures night and say kick off (pardon the pun) from around the
FA Cup Final It’s almost like the weather knows the winter sports are finishing
and the summer sports are just starting… </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>Greens</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">May
is the time of year when the Poa is now switching into seedhead mode, it is
diverting most of its carbohydrate reserves to seed production rather than root
development and shoot growth. Again, this can cause us issues on smoothness but
we have now lowered the heights of cut on all surfaces to summer heights. The
impact this has on the greens is it reduces the difference between the Bent
grasses and the seeding Poa. We have started to brush greens daily to give a
smoother cut, regular Topdressing will take place throughout this period as it
does wonders for smoothing out the surface and adds to our yearly total. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbQi82u-ItpUK0TWksrqsKKXzV5gHwQwnATWTE3tF_lldopkH8R6n14Wt5tz0aaoisnka_JJnBXdTol5JhhO0K5--lzChA0d0dvqmnb5M3QPiIsS_qrSvYSFQ_uJg7UfDIlDPQeeabAnnuWCbxvWvYtyq7uolivjZl7DD_xmGDweTUddLhuJIfzbJP/s640/Top%20dressing%20May.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbQi82u-ItpUK0TWksrqsKKXzV5gHwQwnATWTE3tF_lldopkH8R6n14Wt5tz0aaoisnka_JJnBXdTol5JhhO0K5--lzChA0d0dvqmnb5M3QPiIsS_qrSvYSFQ_uJg7UfDIlDPQeeabAnnuWCbxvWvYtyq7uolivjZl7DD_xmGDweTUddLhuJIfzbJP/w400-h300/Top%20dressing%20May.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Topdressing greens behind over-seeding </td></tr></tbody></table><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
think now might be a good time to talk about Topdressing and why we do it. </span>Every year following
our soils and Organic Matter (OM) lab tests we set our targets for applications throughout the year. This year we are aiming to apply a minimum
of 150 tonnes. A similar figure to last year but way behind out 2015 -2018 figures
of 250/300 tonnes per year.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Why?
</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This
is because we are now fine tuning our OM levels and control of this within the
surfaces. We currently around 4-5% OM on the greens in the top 20mm and all on
target in the other areas (20-40mm, 40-60mm, 60-80mm) and are around 2-4%.
These are now within the target guide lines. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">What’s
Topdressing and OM got to do with each other? </span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Well,
we need Organic Matter on all the surfaces, our soils need this to survive and
continue the biological circle within the soil life (more on that soon). If we
don’t have OM or thatch as some know it on the surface’s we would be left with
soils bursting through the surfaces all the time or the ball <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>would react like it’s hitting concrete on the
greens in the summer and bouncy yards away. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Too
much OM and the greens become soft and spongy. Diluting the OM with sand so it
becomes more friable rather than compact and tough helps water movement and
seed development within it. When it’s compact, aeration, seeding and playing
golf all become an issue. It’s all about balance and we are always lab testing
this to help us make better decisions and gives us hard data. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Back
to our OM targets and where we started this journey back in 2015 (@14%) we were
miles away and the performance of the greens was poorer all year round. This
was a knock-on effect of, a lack of aeration and topdressing due to a common
but misguided approach not to do any maintenance to the greens as this would
upset the golfers. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, it does, but what we all need to realise
it is a necessary evil. We don’t like it but it’s got to be done. Like going to
the gym or visiting the in-laws… </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Thinking
about it from the greenkeepers perspective for a minute but putting into your
life. Would you want to do something that made your job dramatically harder for
days and maybe even weeks at a time, </span>If
you felt it wasn’t doing anything? I
think the answer would be No. Nor do we but it does make our lives harder, it’s
stressful and hard work but we know the benefits.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Now
we have worked hard for years to get into this ‘maintain’ stage rather than
‘renovate’ stage, we need to keep up the little and often approach. That way
recovery is quick almost the same day rather than weeks on end. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
am not saying it’s always going to be in the ‘Maintain stage’ either. We could
have a long, wet winter and OM levels get away from us as the natural thatch
break down wouldn’t happen and we would need to be a bit more aggressive again
but for now we are in a good place. 51 tons YTD (99 tons remaining before
October). Today we applied our first over-seed of the year now
temperatures and getting more consistent. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Again,
this is so important and as we go into the season to get full coverage back and
give us new seed coming through ahead of the competition season. Giving us
better greens. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We
will be seeding a creeping bent grass. This will help with the blend of the Poa
and Bent mixes and creeping bent likes you to be aggressive with it. Like
summer heights if cut and brushing… this is then finished with a topdress and
brush. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
have a had a couple of comments about us doing maintenance work to the greens
at the moment but I am hoping this had made sense and you can see why we need
to do the work. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
course is now busier than it has ever been. Working habits have changed during
lock downs and Covid. Many working from home and able to play week days plus
more competitions than ever. There is no doubt this is great for golf but we
are having to work differently and having to do work when maybe others wouldn’t
have noticed before but we have to do the work and keeping the greens healthy
is one of our main objectives. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sometimes
we will do a little aeration to help with compaction in the soils to help root
development, drainage and soil life. Next, Topdressing for OM dilution and
smoothness. </span>Then
over-seeding to establish new grasses and build a better mix meaning we won’t
need to be as aggressive and we will have grasses that are more disease and
water tolerant in the future. This along with a good soils feed and fertiliser
program plus an Intergrated Pest Management (IPM) program are the bases for a
good green’s strategy.</p>

coring of the drains on the newly drained greens on 9,10 and 11 took place last
Wednesday morning. These have been hollow cored three times now and that seems
to be the ‘magic’ number for getting the surfaces level. You will notice we
haven’t top-dressed the holes afterwards. This is done to encourage the drain
lines on the greens to drop down, making the surface level. If we were to fill
it with sand this would change the levels. They would in fact raise. When
cutting at heights of 3mm, getting the surfaces level is a must. We are hoping
that’s all we need to do now on those greens along with some over-seeding to
fill the last of the lines up to blend this in<b>. </b></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">What
you will notice is the drain lines in areas are still showing up. This had us
questioning why this was happening. Had the rope drains moved. Had they pulled
up? After some investigation work and discussions with our Agronomist we have
realised the rope hasn’t moved and the actual problem is caused by the level of
compaction. When we are trying to decrease this compaction with aeration it in
fact is moving the compaction around and it’s breaking at the weakest seam.
This being the drain line that are back filled with sand. Unfortunately, this
for us means short term pain for long term gain as the aeration works are
needed to open up the pore spaces and allow roots to grow in the soil so we may
in fact get more heave before it gets better. </span></p>

maybe I should have, looking back with hindsight, could have shut the green for
a certain periods to rest it. Maybe we should alternate between the Putting green and Short game green in the depths of winter.

the course you may have noticed the new signage made by John Bolwell one of our
amazing members. These look so much better than the old rotten ones. These will
now weather over time to be more like the finger posts around the course. Thank
you John, for all the hard work.<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Next
on our hit list is the 150 posts and setting these in a metal bracket like the
signage in a hole these are replaced after being taken out for shots and left
level in the future. Big thanks to Adie our Handyman for making the brackets. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
weeds have popped into life and will be next on our list of jobs to do along
with detail works and lots of flymoing and Strimming on the course. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">That’s
enough from me today. Hopefully this has given you an insight to why we do
works to greens. What we are doing on the course and what’s happening in the
coming days. </span></p>

has been on our radar so to speak is the lack of rain on our radar. The course
has dried out dramatically since the 10th April and is actually causing a
concern. As I write this blog we have only had 18mm of rain in April. This
makes it one of the driest Aprils since records began… Yes, another record
broken. It seems this is something we seem to saying month after month, year
after year. One thing for certain things ARE changing and have changed a lot
from when I started in this industry many moons ago. This is also backed up by
real data. Data not only collected by professional meteorologists but keen
amateurs and digital weather stations all coming back with the same data. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuO6iaujR0YDLsuqtPv2zdCoD1h3LYgS87fRiJdz5bN_CIWuOyzqSQlICHQuRFruuIjAHbA_x4u8vIU5iEXX3w-m0iHvzCLFwt5ADL9u6Z9SstuWODwraluHXZQS6AihBCJ7zGr7OXbjxkciPKFZCaJ57ofWq6eNHcLa9hAtklN588JNojK88E5s9R/s1213/Scout%2014th.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1213" data-original-width="1125" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuO6iaujR0YDLsuqtPv2zdCoD1h3LYgS87fRiJdz5bN_CIWuOyzqSQlICHQuRFruuIjAHbA_x4u8vIU5iEXX3w-m0iHvzCLFwt5ADL9u6Z9SstuWODwraluHXZQS6AihBCJ7zGr7OXbjxkciPKFZCaJ57ofWq6eNHcLa9hAtklN588JNojK88E5s9R/w371-h400/Scout%2014th.jpg" width="371" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Live data from Soil Scout on 14th<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /> </span></span><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

ploughing in over 9km of cable and pipework through clay and stone plus
installing around 800 irrigation sprinklers, isolation points, cable joints,
hose points and decoders on each sprinkler is a huge task especially when some
of the pipe work being 180mm. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

sprinklers are mainly infinity sprinklers by Toro. These are the 35’s and 55’s.
Infinities are the latest technology, giving us control on arch’s, nozzle flow,
trajectory, additional tails if required and having all components under one
lid. Reduce the need to dig up the heads so often as most repairs can be done
from above ground. These are on greens, aprons, surrounds and fairways. The
spacing on the fairway heads are 25 meters meaning we reduced the number of
sprinkler heads we needed as the throw was so big. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">On
tees, walkways and other areas we have a mix of T5’s and T7’s depending on the
size of the tees or walkways. These T7 and T5 sprinklers are smaller Toro heads that allow us to use low flow nozzles for shorter distances, perfect for tees and walkways. Our long term plan for walkways is to establish grass pathways in areas that are 'in play' like the 17th tee area behind the 16th green. We plan to use a harder wearing grass species, fully drain and level these area. This should help winter use and allow tight mowing in the summer.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> Yardage plates will be added to fairway sprinklers in the coming weeks but like a lot of things at the moment deliveries are slow and we are waiting for delivery. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQDrU75vA3Rjp1U3iUjFzIJxl_OCwYv9WNRjBNAkBC8xvGWO8qmKYFZTTiwZ_tYucWDXwX-48fyHup2yNQpPia3Fz7a59iAsCgCpr_3MRSAQKBxTXe0nv60fOD1TujplcJmPofCBd7TTGFHwAIWP7R1Sgg4AwEbWLDRe4EhPmoSd-z2c1GcDDsEnRH/s1125/Irrigation%20program.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="551" data-original-width="1125" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQDrU75vA3Rjp1U3iUjFzIJxl_OCwYv9WNRjBNAkBC8xvGWO8qmKYFZTTiwZ_tYucWDXwX-48fyHup2yNQpPia3Fz7a59iAsCgCpr_3MRSAQKBxTXe0nv60fOD1TujplcJmPofCBd7TTGFHwAIWP7R1Sgg4AwEbWLDRe4EhPmoSd-z2c1GcDDsEnRH/w640-h314/Irrigation%20program.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Watering Program above <br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /><br /></span></span><p></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">On
Monday 25th April we tried our first full program. This meant we watered,
greens, tees, aprons, surrounds, bunkers, fairways, walkways around 745 heads
used with only the range/short game area and new turf nursery not used. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">We
applied 2-3mm in different areas depending on requirements and it took less
than four hours. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

is incredible! </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

means we can water later in the night and minimise the impact to golfers playing
late in the evenings and to save energy costs.</span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

this is better as the greens don’t sit wet all night or with moisture on them
which will help reduce the threat of disease outbreaks, this in turn will
encourage the roots to search for water at the end of a long day with them
finally getting respite in the early hours and it will mainly reduce ET lost
early on in the evenings too. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">We now
apply water by the mm rather than run times. This means watering to the second
and not minute. So if 2mm is applied in 3 minutes and 33 seconds it will apply

many times do you hit ball and know that wind is up there above the trees or you’re
coming to a part of the course which feels cooler or hotter. So many variables.
Especially with how our greens have been built. Modern courses are built from
the same materials from bottom to the top. Courses our age were built with what
they had and what they could scrape together from the surrounding area and
Stoneham is totally different area to area. The 1st is on gravel/clay for
example. The 11th pure clay, the 7th on stone and the 8th on peat. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSvkW1tyJguE80aZGW74Ore3CBC4yb3HW1AjA-WZIqX4vlhrZFlRj4I2ZHyYVlzkWf7zKIM_5Q-J0DKwEU2Xd2Kdcy9DlcF80qr1d9BskIu6uvtvKkLNFtgHuJl_23SB5U9h1baRK1AL9bwemo9LrbyFnlGNy3sF4rbctHVE-6pwUqHoPtYysScpPx/s640/Install%201st%20Fairway.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSvkW1tyJguE80aZGW74Ore3CBC4yb3HW1AjA-WZIqX4vlhrZFlRj4I2ZHyYVlzkWf7zKIM_5Q-J0DKwEU2Xd2Kdcy9DlcF80qr1d9BskIu6uvtvKkLNFtgHuJl_23SB5U9h1baRK1AL9bwemo9LrbyFnlGNy3sF4rbctHVE-6pwUqHoPtYysScpPx/w300-h400/Install%201st%20Fairway.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">1st Fairway Installation: Note the stones in the subsoil <br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;">

imagine a square set out and, in each corner, you have an irrigation sprinkler.
</span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Then
you place a circular shape in the middle of that square, this is the green. </span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Each
sprinkler reaches head-to-head. This means the curtain (the shape of the water spray)
of water touches the other curtain of water. Spacing on greens are around 19m
apart (depending on the green size). As these rotate and throw into the middle
of the green there is a deliberate overlap of the sprinklers. This is because
we have to allow for wind. A 19m throw could go down to around 14m while
another of the four will be wind behind and could throw 25m and that’s if you
use all of the sprinklers. This means you can over water the middles but not
the edges. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

biggest problem until we secure another water source is the flow rates into the
tank. We now have two supplies filling the tank but because of our location
over the motorways this has meant all applications to increase our pipe size
and flow has been met with serious hurdles. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

have fitted static pressure valves to help maintain pressure in the clubhouse
and buildings but also maximising our flow into the tanks. I would like to say
this is sorted but this is something I feel we will be adjusting continuously
until we have another water source added. We may also need to fit another
of these on the other main supply from the 8<sup>th</sup>. This is because when
the tank is filling the pressure at the drinking fountains is low and the only
way to fix this will be to do what we have for the clubhouse. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p>

<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">On the
course, the use of wetting agent technology is maximised to reduce the water
requirements along with the moisture probes. Soil Scouts and weather
stations. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The
wetting agents in the summer are surfactants. These help breakdown the waxy
film on the leaf of the grass plant and for moisture to distribute evenly
throughout the surface and hold longer in the soil profiles (note in the winter
this technology is changed to a penetrant technology which pushes the water
through the surface and down the profile to help drainage. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; min-height: 20.3px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">There
is another wetting agent technology we also use. This is Dew removal product
which we utilise to help reduce moisture on the surfaces when disease pressure
is high. This in turn takes away one of the elements needed for the fungus of
the diseases to thrive and reduces the pressure. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The
downside being these can’t be over applied as it can cause issues on the cell
walls as it stops it from transpiration (which is the movement of water through
the plant leaves).</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The other thing we do to help with water issue is aeration. Our monthly aeration not only allows water down the profile but it encourages root development, this then develops and makes the grass plant more drought tolerant. We aren't doing this work to annoy you the golfer, we are doing this for many reasons but the above is very important.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Vgi7TQYGXBL5sJwn0SQfYcCJcEdZiXKvMxwfgmKjmlz4c0aaa9wMA1FMRAgzwdVpD0RODEalfgPeb45af2_VnV2kj7Q9bxm_PaoTAtyadtzgfZUZ2igYspIs5dzPjSFO954jFzA4o9Gp4ccDl2lNKkAnlnA2t8X8UlvRz9jaVH2HS0hu-8O7d6Fn/s640/11th%20Fairway.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Vgi7TQYGXBL5sJwn0SQfYcCJcEdZiXKvMxwfgmKjmlz4c0aaa9wMA1FMRAgzwdVpD0RODEalfgPeb45af2_VnV2kj7Q9bxm_PaoTAtyadtzgfZUZ2igYspIs5dzPjSFO954jFzA4o9Gp4ccDl2lNKkAnlnA2t8X8UlvRz9jaVH2HS0hu-8O7d6Fn/w400-h300/11th%20Fairway.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /> </span></span><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;">

project and MJ Abbotts to carryout the installation has given us a modern and professional
Irrigation System.</span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">This
will enable us to develop the course further and grow the grass species we
want, apply products when we need and not having to wait for Mother Nature. It
will be the club’s future and will show we are serious about water management.</span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; min-height: 20.3px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>

Irrigation system is fantastic but as you can see there is a lot more to it and
it not simply watering. For us it’s about finding that fine balance. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Don’t
expect a perfectly green golf course all year round now as we simply don’t have
an endless supply of water and with such a important commodity we must be prudent!</span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; min-height: 20.3px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">What
you should expect is for us to slowly develop all areas on the course and an
increase in grass coverage and a reduction in turf death like we had in 2018,
2019 and 2020. Keeping the plant alive will save so much time and money. The
irrigation system gives us an insurance policy and tool to get us by the dry
periods. It is simply a must for modern golf clubs and we now have it.</span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

enough on irrigation systems and water. I will blog again soon with some
details of what the team have been doing over the last couple of weeks. </span></span></p>

<p class="p1" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I hope
this make sense and gives you a better understanding of the new system. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Enjoy

out last week, it showed the putting green had really gone backwards regarding
root depth and compaction levels compare to last August visit. This would’ve
been caused by the high level of golf during the winter months being played on
that green. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

agreed to add zeolite to the short game area. This was built with rootzone
which is superb and performs better than all of our other make ups but with
sandier soils means that nutrients flush through the profile quicker. There is
less for the nutrients to hold on too compared to our clay green so adding soil
amendments helps retain nutrient and water so the green performs better. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

throughout the year with the small 8mm tines that don’t effect the ball roll

golfing season, especially as the course has never been busier. For me this is
just part and parcel of running the course. Sometimes we will need to micro

THE NEW IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS UP AND RUNNING AND FULLY WORKING. </b>The problem we had with the electric meter possibly not being installed for up to 12 weeks is now resolved thanks to Lawrence Cherry's persistent pursuit of Scottish Powers install team. We were using the new system on the old pump house but this meant we only could water greens and tees but on the 5th of April the meter was installed and the final connections were made and the system is now fully working. We as a team are trying to learn how to use the system to its full capacity. This may take some time as its a huge system. I will do another blog about of this soon.</span></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgquFtvS7imJXDv54ZCeY4OV06H5O2L7Xah0Ty41IcWUzRvJPlXp8CGyEFAnucb14ATbitJCTmvry_Nj16MLJQvTY6xqQAE-m_CrtGuIFeuoQGGxsGFx8ffNhc-Jwe9DKB39vkub-6F7A0MezJsrgAS2aKRC-TIz0qcGSHplDfP5bbdKTXtVymaqUa6/s640/Tree%20Down.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgquFtvS7imJXDv54ZCeY4OV06H5O2L7Xah0Ty41IcWUzRvJPlXp8CGyEFAnucb14ATbitJCTmvry_Nj16MLJQvTY6xqQAE-m_CrtGuIFeuoQGGxsGFx8ffNhc-Jwe9DKB39vkub-6F7A0MezJsrgAS2aKRC-TIz0qcGSHplDfP5bbdKTXtVymaqUa6/w300-h400/Tree%20Down.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></span></div><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="s2"><span style="color: black;">Large Oak tree down- Some of you may have noticed that another large Oak fell on the 2nd hole. This was tidied up and a 7 ton digger was brought in to move out of play. This was damaged from the winds end of last week. I think the damage was done to the roots in the storm and the high winds ended its time with us. This along with the tree from the 1st and any other damaged or dangerous tree will be removed from the course next week when we get in Arb trailer and crane on site. None of these are in play, unless roped off. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

With the new irrigation system now complete and the last of our major projects completed we can spend time reflecting on them, learning from them and get back to the day job with renewed passion to keep moving the course forward but without major disruption. I will blog more on these projects and updates on what has been happening with them as the year goes on. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfXxzA6b0UZgCDi_A4oxFZGzXDH8FgX-RFRdn1Pwfm0RIemaKKXCtmHfrjKBmlDexU3QerWHS5wlS8Liq2Hxl-VgGdl-eT3MjPQbFuPaxtT3kuQI0oB47SL_bD0fTMe1YTWHBSUC0B-jvZ2S7KDml6mE0WZB4KZ18udQhnkarmQ2BQpo2poPp0P2gy/s640/frost%202.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfXxzA6b0UZgCDi_A4oxFZGzXDH8FgX-RFRdn1Pwfm0RIemaKKXCtmHfrjKBmlDexU3QerWHS5wlS8Liq2Hxl-VgGdl-eT3MjPQbFuPaxtT3kuQI0oB47SL_bD0fTMe1YTWHBSUC0B-jvZ2S7KDml6mE0WZB4KZ18udQhnkarmQ2BQpo2poPp0P2gy/w400-h300/frost%202.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Frosty April </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p><p><b>Where are we now?</b></p><p>We are truly at our transition phase between Winter and Spring. The course is slowly coming back to life but the days of frosts, the cold winds and days of rain reminding us its still only April and growth and recovery form the maintenance week is still slow. </p><p>Its worth remembering that in March 2020 we were locked down through April into May. In 2021 we were locked down and golf came back in April. Both of these times our maintenance weeks works and drainage works were completed and recovering before you returned. </p><p>This year we have gone through the winter, carried out the maintenance week and started our recovery and you have all witnessed it for the first time since 2019. April's are always a slow growth month, always a bumpy greens month as the different grass species on the greens grow at different rates. The bent grows at the lower temps and the Poa doesn't get going until its a bit higher. I have blogged about this many times but this year is more obvious for you the golfer because you have been away for the last two years and the Maintenance works were done deliberately in the Lockdown's so we maximised the time available for you the members. </p><p>Please find the link to the previous blog about the different grass species here :- </p><p> <a href="http://stonehamgolfclub.blogspot.com/2016/05/grass-species-on-greens.html?m=0" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">http://stonehamgolfclub.blogspot.com/2016/05/grass-species-on-greens.html?m=0</a></p><p><b>Masters Weekend </b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p>Also add into the mix that this weekend is the Masters weekend and the pressure this brings to golf courses in the UK that are still competing with frost's and a multi million pound budgets and huge crews. Please see the link to another previous blog here to reminded yourself of the big differences between us and the Masters. GDD wise (growth rates) they are in mid July compared to our April figures. Our course looks more inline with theirs in mid July too. </p><p>Masters blog :- <a href="http://stonehamgolfclub.blogspot.com/2016/04/augusta-syndrome.html?m=1" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">http://stonehamgolfclub.blogspot.com/2016/04/augusta-syndrome.html?m=1</a></p><p>Like many of you I felt for Blandy as he missed making this years Masters by one week making it to number <b>48 in the world</b> a week to late but wow what an achievement. When you look at the list of players below him and think of how many golfers in world that is mind blowing. Watching his swing over the last two years has been inspiring and a delight. I am happy to see Tiger back though and giving it a good go. He maybe the best ever! </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpAna5V-MZOAkE_3UlalApGz46-1zxg4U75mJu_muSkG70Lzdh21LCzJuK9JAeA_VodHMNvseVCxSOMf6uusGBugBMVGfRI8X_qlaAC5mqL5Y20phYdvZwC4O_dTSd81o7JQ_wKuRHSxN8A01J5fnEyEuglIxKr3N00Wgx1flXuvdB5AQt6rOjGNxx/s640/ian%20bland.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="415" data-original-width="640" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpAna5V-MZOAkE_3UlalApGz46-1zxg4U75mJu_muSkG70Lzdh21LCzJuK9JAeA_VodHMNvseVCxSOMf6uusGBugBMVGfRI8X_qlaAC5mqL5Y20phYdvZwC4O_dTSd81o7JQ_wKuRHSxN8A01J5fnEyEuglIxKr3N00Wgx1flXuvdB5AQt6rOjGNxx/w400-h260/ian%20bland.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Two club legends- Ian marked 35 years as Blandy makes top 48 in the world</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p><p>Lots of work has been going on out on the course and off it over the last two weeks.

He was superb for Stoneham and we wish him all the luck going forward. </p><p>At the same time I am delighted to welcome back Levi following a very thorough interviewing process. Levi was previously who our First Assistant, coming runner up in the greenkeeper of the year awards out of hundreds on students in the UK, he left to run his own landscape gardening business and realised his heart was still into greenkeeping shortly afterwards and his qualifications were not being used. He has gained new skills and comes back with a new enthusiasm to help drive the club onwards. </p><p>I feel we have a very strong team of greenkeepers now at the club with a big desire to be the best.

it’s that time of year again when we are seeing bird damage on various spots.
This is being caused by grubs within the soil and the birds are feeding on
these grubs. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">This hasn’t been a big issue
until recent years. The withdrawal of the chemicals used to control these grubs
in 2016 with a use up date of 2017 has meant we are now seeing damage increase
year on year. The damage sustained last year wasn’t seen by most due to the
lockdowns. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Interestingly we are seeing a
lot more chafer grubs now. We hadn’t seen any on the course until 2019, when
Graham Hastie and I found two on the 5<sup>th</sup> hole. Fast forward to 2022
and this has been the dominate species we have found in the fairways over last
two months. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">We have always had issues
with Leatherjackets and have tried our best to mitigate the issues these can
cause but that is changing and we as an industry are learning more about both
Leatherjacket and Chafer grubs. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtF3CMA-guylfL1hOg5ss2ovmZU6vkxbOfKjfh0p-gC2ILdEGIho_tvvUh0_-uuiAVuTqObn7Taes_uCHaaQsieddxiTa-Vgv1JOodRe4ePtI-zfKzzx895Z257TTQMXzSVpRdQf5tBNqmEwUkD-y5t10DF1U0bgvBklfkbINYj1dCYahAcR1NPvQU/s640/chafers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtF3CMA-guylfL1hOg5ss2ovmZU6vkxbOfKjfh0p-gC2ILdEGIho_tvvUh0_-uuiAVuTqObn7Taes_uCHaaQsieddxiTa-Vgv1JOodRe4ePtI-zfKzzx895Z257TTQMXzSVpRdQf5tBNqmEwUkD-y5t10DF1U0bgvBklfkbINYj1dCYahAcR1NPvQU/w400-h300/chafers.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Chafer grubs under the 12<sup>th</sup> fairway

options we had are now long gone. We have one new chemical which at the moment
is only being issued on an emergency licence one year at a time. This means we
never know if it is going to be approved for the following year.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Once an emergency licence is approved we can
only spray Greens, Tees and 10% of fairways. The amount we can purchase is
limited by the government, we have to fill out stewardship forms and record the
application. We are also only allowed to spray for one the species in one year.
Unfortunately we now have both species meaning we will need to address which
one we think is going to be the prominent one for the following year as the </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">timings of the grub’s life cycles are completely
different. You can see this isn’t easy and if I am honest the effectiveness of
the new chemical is about 60% compared to the old chemistry and is ten times
the cost. It’s also worth noting the rates of application in the UK for the
chemical is 50% of the rate in the USA. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgggjJi67BWE4tsmGYoggNgrthcMEtAjAJ3UhH10k2MVSwTZcykRdixZ_LyAuyO8BnUaAZYvpwRnS-TDAzHXnd3EFIha6CFtABT1QpgcXPguFQnUwfhMeIJyOJjuRaKRgt_W-HADHKIYH7p9MR6CDHyhxJbE4aiwQZrGflBeQ2wB-kQXMVp8D-hAL9C/s640/leatherjackets%20off%20green.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="363" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgggjJi67BWE4tsmGYoggNgrthcMEtAjAJ3UhH10k2MVSwTZcykRdixZ_LyAuyO8BnUaAZYvpwRnS-TDAzHXnd3EFIha6CFtABT1QpgcXPguFQnUwfhMeIJyOJjuRaKRgt_W-HADHKIYH7p9MR6CDHyhxJbE4aiwQZrGflBeQ2wB-kQXMVp8D-hAL9C/w228-h400/leatherjackets%20off%20green.jpg" width="228" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Leatherjackets off one green<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Year on year the populations
are growing at such a rate that damage will increase, For example one
Leatherjacket can lay up to 400 eggs before they die. The drive from Government
is to be so green now and the EU restriction’s which the government and the House
of Lords has agreed to wont be overturned. We have already seen the Sugar beet
market in the UK collapse over this issue. The irony is, we are now importing
all of our sugar from countries that don’t have these restrictions! </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib_jph9VRinGdsDESKnpjs-c30zqXcFGQ3HZ5R3_zF80sx2KoV6p4ch84XWX6kbsxLcB_8unNZdHq2yvhYwp4NpJrYnRjCWxz5UpcSusElmKKP9Tb-ttO6Mk9Euq9zcWf8Llx_DijRQEAI7VmoPa4eUEA4sZaGXfP60nRYMr5NLA1CchntjPFdl98C/s2048/leatherjacket%20husks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib_jph9VRinGdsDESKnpjs-c30zqXcFGQ3HZ5R3_zF80sx2KoV6p4ch84XWX6kbsxLcB_8unNZdHq2yvhYwp4NpJrYnRjCWxz5UpcSusElmKKP9Tb-ttO6Mk9Euq9zcWf8Llx_DijRQEAI7VmoPa4eUEA4sZaGXfP60nRYMr5NLA1CchntjPFdl98C/w400-h300/leatherjacket%20husks.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Leatherjacket Husks after Cranefly have left

proactive options available. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The other methods will be
more reactive. You may have seen silage sheets being used at other clubs in the
last year. This method requires us to cover an entire green from the afternoon,
overnight and then this is taken off in the morning. This brings the
LeatherJackets to the surface and as they believe they are still under ground.
Once the sheet is removed it’s a race against time to either blow or cut them up
before they start to head back down into the soil and this is only a few
minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">This maybe a strategy we need
to put in place and you the golfers will need to be aware that this is
happening. This isn’t something we can plan too much in advance. When we start
to see the damage to the surfaces we will need to react quickly. Remember the
grubs survive by eating the roots of the grass plant. They can eat up to 60% of
the root on each plant causing huge stress or even death of the grass species. We will inform members by email on the day if
this is needed. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">A temporary hole will placed
short of the green to play too but I must stress this is a last resort and we
hope that this won’t be an issue we need to face but I wanted you to know this
is an option we may require to reduce the populations down quickly and save the
surfaces. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaWvwTGBJpk4th1RSelkTSI_2g5htHkuKqTb8m6JAg2xb0Hl36IRWg6_FoJZY2MxQhA7LCrfrbu1IqaeqCh9yvAOTPY4IW646PCUSkM_JUD5M7xuwilRT-Dzrp9iRvcTKAbjZ6Bg3KlsXYVpd0e0_vh5fhw2GburN4MULG6UiSV9nGuaPHCpgJ6_bA/s640/silage%20sheet%20green.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaWvwTGBJpk4th1RSelkTSI_2g5htHkuKqTb8m6JAg2xb0Hl36IRWg6_FoJZY2MxQhA7LCrfrbu1IqaeqCh9yvAOTPY4IW646PCUSkM_JUD5M7xuwilRT-Dzrp9iRvcTKAbjZ6Bg3KlsXYVpd0e0_vh5fhw2GburN4MULG6UiSV9nGuaPHCpgJ6_bA/w400-h300/silage%20sheet%20green.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Silage sheets being used for Leatherjackets control</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></td></tr></tbody></table></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Bird damage<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Regarding the bird damage.

<p></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Hi all, </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">At
last we now have some positive news with the announcement of golf coming
back </span></span><span class="s2"><u><span style="color: black;">on March
29th</span></u></span><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">. Setting up and
maintaining a golf course for no golfers isn’t right. We miss those sounds of
balls being hit, laughter, the clubs rattling in the bags, the conversations we
have with you all across the greens and the smell of beer, wine and food coming
from the patio area and the odd shout of FORE! </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">One
thing we have had to do is rethink our strategy going forward for this season.
Course Maintenance week was originally booked in for </span></span><span class="s2"><u><span style="color: black;">the 6th of April</span></u></span><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">This
would have included Greens, Tees, Aprons and Surrounds plus the potential back
up date rope drainage of three greens. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">There
were several reasons for the later maintenance week this week this year. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">1)
April is the month when the Bent grasses grow in the greens and the Poa Grasses
don’t, leaving the surfaces very bumpy. This is all down to soil temperatures,
Bent thrives at 6* and Poa 8* and that 2 degrees plays a massive part until
middle of May. Over the last two years along with the possibility to add PC
rope drainage in the greens we have really increased our Bent grass over
seeding. Again this is due to the revoked chemicals for turf diseases and the
need for us to look at more sustainable ways for the future. It was discussed
with our Agronomist and the decision made to move the maintenance week to April
to punch holes, scarify and sand the greens while they would be bumpy anyway.
Unfortunately this is a yearly occurrence but was missed by you the members
last year due to Lock down 1. </span></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">2)
Leatherjackets (or crane fly/ daddy long legs to most). These are now a real
problem for golf courses and other turf industries as explained before but this
year is the start of the process of the old chemistries having no residual
value left in the soils to help protect them. We are likely to see even more
damage especially on fairways. The Crane fly while in a grub state (leather
jacket) have laid eggs towards the end of last year and these will now would
have hatched and be eating up to 60% of the plants root system leaving them very
weak. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Holes
in greens would leave us open for the leather jackets to move up and down the
plants like an elevator shaft. It would also allow other Crane fly that are in
flight from the surrounding areas to lay eggs in the soil again and the process
repeats. After March the ground tends to be drier and the leather jackets less
active. This added to our decision to move to April. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Some
of you will notice a weak plant when playing but the Corvid birds notice them
even more from the sky and dive down to peck the surface ripping the turf out
of the way for them to find their dinner. The damage we are left with is great
and will need constant divotting until they repair. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Taking
all of the above into account on any normal year we would have kept maintenance
week in April. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">However
the circumstances of this year have made us re-think our plan as you the
members have been away a long time and coming back in to find the greenstaff
doing Maintenance week would be very unpopular! </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;">
</p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">Luckily
the course has dried out hugely in the two weeks, this has allowed us to cut
all the main playing surfaces for the first time this year including semi
rough. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">This
meant the course was dry enough to topdress the greens to fill the holes up and
this reduces the risk of the leather jacket issue so I think we have done the
right thing in taking advantage of the weather. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

the break in the weather we have managed to go ahead with the drainage work as

as the soils were full of water and had no air space in it. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

Clegg (firmness) reading was 43 gravity’s. That’s below our target of 70gm for

be honest I didn’t want to drain the Putting Green until all the course was
done but feel our hand has been forced as it is a heavily used green and
outside the clubhouse. It also made sense to do this while everyone was away
from site as the outlet was a very long one and wrapped around right edge of
the green and between the putting green and the 18th.</span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

six weeks of hard hand digging all the heather is now out on the course. The
team have done a fantastic job in making it look natural. I don’t think anyone
will know how hard it was getting that 820m2 out actually was and I doubt many
will notice as it looks natural but we know we have done our best to age the
banks. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

mentioned all the course has finally been cut, Fertilisers have been applied to
the main playing areas, the course has been blown to collect debris and last of

range foundations are now in. This took just a week and now it’s ready for the
steels team, unfortunately they are delayed on their current project are
expected first week of April. The steels will all be put up in one hit and then
the suspended beams for the flooring of the building added. This design has
taken the foundations into the original sub soil of the old range and built up
from that. Over time we are expecting the range outfield to settle but the
building will remain in the same place with the foundations that have been
engineered. </span></span>

<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">The
continued investment in the course with another four greens drained and now
maintenance week completed at the beginning of March is truly fantastic.</span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

maybe the only turf sport where there is no “off season” like Football or
Rugby, Cricket or Tennis. These sports all shut down for a period and renovate
there pitches, wickets and courts before they return to play.</span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">This
year has been a unique opportunity for us to see what that feels like and the
team have achieved so much in a short time. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I
would like to take this opportunity to thank the team for all for their hard

<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">I am
so glad we have got these major works done while you the members are on a
forced break and not in April as planned. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p>

attention in the coming weeks can now be the golf course and not major
projects. The time between now and opening will give us an opportunity to set
up and get the definition and detail right for the season ahead. With all the
major works done we now just need Mother Nature to do her bit. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in;"><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></p><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">We are
all on the home straight now. Not long to go.</span></span><span class="s1"><span style="color: black;">We
can’t wait to see you back! </span></span>
