Members Weekly Update

Week Commencing 13/02/06

 

 

The weather this week has severely hampered the on going projects on the course. However, there has been some progress achieved.

 

·        The 1st tee area refurbishment has continued with steps and sleeper edging installed for the Ladies. We hope to make further future improvements.

·        Edging paths and borders has started around the clubhouse and this will be on going.

·        The area for the artificial turf has been prepared for the installation of the turf at the 13th tee. The turf has been laid out on the area and will be secured next week.

·        Newly laid turf at the 12th and 13th bunkers has been cut in. There will be a small amount of turf laying at the 12th next week and the remainder of the area will be seeded.

·        Refurbishment of course furniture has continued: good progress is being made on tee markers and posts.

·        An application of iron has been made to the  greens and some tees – a further application with soil conditioners will occur next week.

 

The Village greens have not taken kindly to this weeks’ rainfall, therefore temporary greens have been in play. Some remedial work is required over the forthcoming weeks to try to improve rate of water movement through the rootzone on certain greens i.e.: 1st and 9th.  Hollow tining and back filling with a soil amendment material will help to alleviate this problem.

 

Other work for next weeks’ program will include topping up sand levels in bunkers.
