Full Steam Ahead

For the last couple of weeks we have been trying to get the course ready for the start of the season and the Opening Club Supper.  Below you'll see some recent improvements....
                                          More than a just Pro...

To save us Greenkeepers some time, Dave the pro lends us his hands for the day. Taking all the stakes out and with replacing them with new ones, thats one off the list...... cheers for the hand Dave.

As we are trying to pay more attention to detail, you might notice that :
  • All paths have been de-weeded, as you can see in the before and after photos they look 100 % better.
  • For a trial period we are spraying the top inch of the hole cup (white), this will boost the appearance of the hole and make it more visible from a distance. To help maintain the hole can you please carefully place the flag back into the cup, thank you.
    • A new fountain has been placed in the 5th pond 'The Dingle' (what's the opposite to Dingle? ... a Baggie Boy, Steve Hadley in the background.... Boing Boing )
    • Most wood debris has been cleared. If you could help by removing any big branches on the fairway, greens / approach it would be greatly appreciated, as they fall so often....thank you.
    • Other jobs such as cutting around fairway and tee yardage markers (to give a more obvious idea how far you are to the green) are now up to speed.

White Lines....


For those of you who are using trolleys, could you please follow these tips
to help protect the course.....
Picture
Go around the greens following the white trolley lines. Please keep the trolleys away from the areas marked in yellow in the diagram  (on the aprons, pictured above) .

The course is looking great now for this time of year and with the Club supper only a couple of days away, it's safe to say its going to be a good year for Redditch GC, enjoy.
