The dry spring continues but the flowers around the course gave there colour and beauty for all to see while playing golf.
The early spring flowers have now passed as we approach early summer but the bees enjoyed the nectar and pollen from the crocuses (see Video)
Greens have been fed with a liquid feed and treated with wetting agent and seaweed.
We have also applied over 90 tonnes of sand to the greens through the spring to restore the surfaces after the scarring from the disease we had in the late autumn.This week we are also overseeding the greens,rolling them and following this with a light dressing.
I recently attended Crown Golf's Course Managers conference in St Mellion,where we were able to meet up with the new Course Managers in the Group and have some bonding time, including an afternoon on the Nicklaus Course playing golf.The course being in excellent condition .We also had our own meeting as well as visiting trade speakers.You may also see us now driving new Nissan Navara trucks as well.
The path project on the Heron course is now complete (see Video)
As we were still short on the green staff and the playing season ever closer ,we recruited 2 summer casuals,both play golf. George Hockley and Nick Bird to help us in our course maintenance.
