Sam Cooke spraying the feed onto the 5th Vixen fairway
Two of our staff recently qualified as spray operators and are now gaining experience in using and applying various products,but inexperience can lead to mistakes which we hope are not to damaging as seen at the front of the 8th green Hawk where to much product applied in one area has scorched the turf.This will grow out.
After spraying the environmental rough with selective weed control its always good to see that the treatment has been effective.
Dying weeds 3rd vixen
At this time of year we bring in a contractor to cut and trim selected hedges around the course,this is to control there growth and also to allow golf to be played with out unfair restriction eg 3rd hole Hawk and 9th hole heron

One of our staff members Luke Herron has now moved on to join Hobbs Cross Golf Club ,we wish him well in his new Club
We have planted crocus bulbs into the front lawn of the clubhouse,as well as Alliums in some of the f;ower beds behind the clubhouse.These should give added interest in the spring.This was one of Lukes last jobs before leaving us
On the 7th ditch across the Vixen we have planted some cowslips which we grew from seed in keeping with our natural native planting plan.Roger Horne our Senior Captain has given us some Lilys and Dahlia plants which again is within our remit of plants which attract pollinating insects.Our Operation Pollinator area has now shown signs of life with the seed from the spring sowing germinating after the recent wet warm weather .These will continue to grow and develop.Next summer we should see some results.
