week 51 2011 update

Just a quick rundown of the week 51 of jobs done after all the mowing...

Greens sprayed with wetting agent

Greens sprayed for grubs, redheaded cockchafer, cut worm and sod webworm

We did not verti-cut greens this week as they were under stress and close to the wilt point (40%)

Tidy up Tuesday hole were 5,6,7,8

Trenches filled on 3^rd 15^th

Turf areas on 7^th, 9^th, 15^th

Bunkers completed 4^th , 3^rd, and 17^th walking turfed and finished off, sand watered and settled in and raked

Oob on 4^th  done

Patches on 6^th green dug out soil put in levelled and turfed

Garden ladies piles picked up

Greens mower blades sharpened (backlapped)

Fairway unit backlapped

New bunker bike arrive Thursday morning

Turfed areas hand watered

Stick run done wed and Friday

And we tried our extra mow at 10.00 Thursday where we mowed the carriage ways (middles thus 90% of green and no circle cut) on the greens just before the comp – this acts as a roll or shine of the green and will cut only alittle but should get that extra half a foot on the stimpmeter.

Well that’s all for this week have a happy Christmas – we will be mowing the greens and rake the bunkers on saterday then in on Monday morning (not early…about 8.oo am) to mow and change holes if they need it….till next time keep swinging  pete
