Greenkeepers Report 22nd December 2023

Greenkeepers Report 22nd December

This week had a dry start which allowed us to get vehicles on the course for the first time in a week, this enabled us to clear and collect multiple piles of leaves.

The tractor blower was also out on Monday and cleared areas which were dry enough to access.

All inlets and outlets have been cleared. Ditches on 16,17 and 18 have been cleared out and the leaves removed.

The 3rd tee area has been thinned out with the removal of a few trees this will allow more sunlight onto the back section of the 3rd tee and aid grass recovery.  The tree canopy on the left side of the 3rd has been raised as high as possible so not to hinder the tee shot.

Two black pines and two scots pines have been removed from the right side of the 5th hole.  This is all in accordance with the previously agreed Course Forward Plan.

A dead pine tree and dead Christmas tree have been removed from the 7th.

The dew pond on the 2nd fairway was pumped dry and then all the leaves collected.

This week has seen another 22mm of rainfall taking the amount for December so far to 76mm and total for the year so far to 716mm compared to 373mm in the whole of 2022.

From all of the Greenkeeping Staff – we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
