14th October 2016

14 October, 2016 By Brendon O'Hara

Congratulations to all the winners of the various trophies in last weekends Club Champs.

The long rough that was recently topped was sprayed with a strong herbicide this week. The aim is to reduce the unwanted  thick grass leaving the thinner grass which will still provide a hazard but allow you to find your ball. This chemical application normally takes 4 weeks to show how effective it is. Effectiveness is dependent on many factors both before the application and after. If it is deemed too thick, a follow up application will go ahead in early November.

The Greens have had a liquid fertilizer applied as well as a water penetrant / retainer applied. The 5th and 18th Fairways have had a similar water retainer applied to assist with turf health.

If the weather allows, We will needle tine, sand and verti-cut the Greens during next week. This the major part of the normal monthly renovation program.
