week 18 update


well another short week and our two apprentices away at TAFE for two week giving us a shortfall of 132 manhours thus only the core jobs got done this week, you will notice some areas of the rough are long these areas will have to wait to next week so keep on the mowed areas.
The areas on the 5th and 6th green where the phantom sprayer has struck, we have changed our plan of attack, originally we were going to sod cut and re-turf the area, but a big concern was getting it back into play and smooth by the 11th of Sept, we have opted to try using a type of grass (Poa trivialis) ,we will verti-cut around the collar and over the sprayed areas, then over-sow with the poa triv and this way we will keep the levels of the surface and have it back in play sooner.
Finally around a few greens you will see some pieces of black hose this is to keep the birds away from the greens and from digging holes in the turf so far is is working, so if you land near it just move it out of the way don't fling it into the rough as we need to keep around the surrounds area of the greens.
well that's all for this week till next time keep swinging pete
