Update on Work (12th November) We started this project , on Monday 16th October, by removing the concrete plinth and then removed all the top layer of the grass and sand. We cleared out the surrounding shrubbery around the trees off the tarmac path which really opened up the space. This all took a few days and then the weather…

Our new John Deer pedestrian aerator has now arrived. This aerator is a pedestrian machine which is easier to operate and more efficient. We are replacing a 2007 (16-year-old) tractor mounted aerator which is obsolete at this stage, and not only slow but, more importantly, could damage the greens. In recent years, we have used a contractor to do our…

These are days when buggies would ordinarily not be allowed due to the soft course. This blue post buggy path is the new route designed and must…
It was noticeable last weekend (7th/8th October) that the surface of our greens were slightly dis-improved on the recovery seen in recent weeks following aeration (hollowing coring). As part of our Autumn maintenance programme an over seeding was recommended by our agronomist in conjunction with the hollow coring (to minimise disruption). This is an expensive process that we are reintroducing…
