August

August the 7th and 8th saw us start our greens renovation with hollow coring  as shown in the video .The work was complete in two days as all the staff worked well, and quickly got into the routine to accomplish each task .Paul hollowcored,Geoff was using the Blower ,I fertilised and seeded,Steve top dressed and George matted in the sand.This was then followed by 40mm rainfall on the following day to wash in the dressing .

On the Thursday and Friday we mowed and rolled the greens and the surface was getting back to normal which is why we carry out this work in August to get the quick recovery 

The wet warm weather has created good mushroom growth around the edges of fairy rings .

Some greens are showing signs of take all patch which is a fungal disease especially seen in late summer
