September and October have remained very dry with the course still needing rain to encourage growth .We have  started our autumn programme of aeration on the greens with deep solid-tining ,slitting and sarel rolling and applied fungicide and feed followed by sand topdressing. The height of the greens has been raised to 5mm .

We had some sand left after topdressing and this was used to top up some greenside bunkers.

We have acquired 3 hand mowers from within our group that were unused and will now be able to hand mow the tees through the winter months when conditions allow.
