With our renovation on the greens completed after a topdressing and an application of fungicide to prevent disease we have turned our attention to the fairways and tees.These have been scarified using our Sisis Quadraplay .This stands up the sward and lifts out the dead and horizontal grass, encouraging a more upright growth.We hope to follow this by slit tining and feeding.
The tees were first fertilised to encourage some growth and recovery after the summer ,the weather provided some rain to wash it all in before they were then scarified and solid tined.The main wear areas being  seeded and topdressing.Our aim is to have  good grass coverage on the tees to stand up to play through the winter months as only the par three holes usually are on mats.

Know doubt you will notice these red lines on the greens which have been marked so we can reshape the cut of the collars around the greens near some of the irrigation popups.Those popups which are sited close to the greens are regularly knocked or damaged by the triple mower cutting the collars,so by altering the mowing shape near them we will eradicate this issue.It will take a few weeks for the grass to grow and give the desired definition around these areas.

Autumnal is now approaching and its the time of autumn fruits which can be seen around the course
