Course Updates

15/7/26

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.

11/7/26

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.

10/7/26

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.

9/7/26

Thursday - Status Green.

Green's nipped.

Grass Clippings and soil samples collected to be sent away and tested for nutritional values. This has been done for over 8 years, every 6 month's on the same 4 greens. Important and essential to keep improving and ultimately ensure nutrition isn't over applied and resources wasted!

Approaches cut.

Hot Spots watered.

Half the Fairway's cut today to ensure mown with Dew and reduce the risk of turf getting scorched with hot rubber tyres.

Select areas of 1st Cut topped where needed.

Daily task's knocked out.
