As the weeks go by, we keep regular checks on the greens......

What do we check for?
  • Colour, 
  • Growth rate, 
  • Disease 
  • Damage from pests.
Phil and Paul are fertilising the 12th green (above)

In the picture above I'm spraying Urea (not y'ear) on the fairways (which is the water soluble fertilizer I mentioned in my previous post about fairway maintenance). 
           Hide and seek... Can you spot the other Greenkeeper ?

Wheres Wally???  I just happened to take this picture at the perfect time, he's not actually hiding from the camera...... or is he?
In the picture above and below, Simon and Ethan work like horses to get the fly-mowing done for the week. 
We 'flymo' the areas around all the tees, bunkers and ditches. 

I'm sure you'll appreciate the amount of work this involves....

 18 tees obviously ! (35 if you count the different levels), we also have ditches everywhere (the photos illustrate the size of them).
Picture
How many bunkers ?

We have 45 if you include the practise bunker.

So 35 tees + 45 bunkers + loads of ditches = a lot of fly mowing....
Well done to the lads, keep up the good work.

And if I do say so myself, the course is looking grreat :)
