Thursday - Practice Ground Closed 12-2 for Maintenance.

No operation to Green's this morning after yesterday's Irrigation breakdown, just some hoses.

Managed to get water pressure back yesterday afternoon, after a string of leaks. The system has been running flat out the last few weeks with a few hiccups, but ran without a blip last night 💪

No rain for 35 days, but overall the Course is dealing with it well but is certainly parched! March, April & May well below average with June around average but only with heavy downpours in the first 11 days.

Tee Banks topped where needed.

Greensides getting any stalks flicked with the Strimmer.

Daily tasks.

Some posts and rope back out here.... damage on a lot of the struggling Tee's from players walking over parched Tee tops... lazy 😒

Wednesday - Ladies Day.

Green's trimmed.

Hot spots watered on Green's. Another night of the Pumps failing due to low pressure.... grrrr! Only part of the evening's programme went out again. Expect to see some Sprinklers out here this morning 🥵

Green's sprayed with some N, P, K, Mg, Zn, Cu, PGR and Penetrant.

Fairway's mown where needed.

1st Cut of Semi topped where needed.

Daily tasks.

Repair works to another weak point of the Irrigation System later. These show up more when the system is pushed as hard as it currently is.

Tuesday -

No Operation to the Greens.... just VWC% checks and a hose where needed.

Pin position's moved.

Car park blow and hedges continue.

Fairway Bunkers strimmed.

Daily tasks.

Fallen trees tackled after setup

Sunday - Status Green.

Course setup greens rolled followed by a hand hose to water hot spots.

Tee set and a divot from yesterday’s play,

Bunkers raked.

Saturday - Status Green... in places 🥵

Greens trimmed with VL.

Approaches nipped with tired areas left where possible.

VMW% checks & top ups. "Are they not irrigating at night" i hear you say..... of course! However, there isn't enough time through the night to get enough out in these extreme conditions 💦

Hand hose to fine tune the dry spots on the Greens.

Friday - Toasty!

Irrigation system running flat out from 9pm till 8am.... but not enough hours in the night to water all surfaces. We are currently losing around 5/6mm of water a day through evapotranspiration and this watering window at night is not even close to big enough to put even half back onto the plant. 🥵

No operation to Greens today... other than VMC% top up of hot spots to last the day.

Fresh pin position's.

Remaining Fairway's mown.

Tee's cut.

Daily tasks.
