Week 34 2012


Well with the start of week 34 the days are getting longer as we can actually see when we arrive,
last week we got all the greens wetta soiled to help combat the dry patch in them, we also stepped up our microbe brewing to help out with thatch breakdown. and with the warmer nights we will soon be able to verti-cut the greens.
the poa in the greens has been sprayed and you will see it start to turn white and bleached out, this happens slowly so the turf underneath can come up through the area thus retaining the playing surface
the 5th green has had the algae sprayed and this will start to curl in the next few days, as always with this green during winter with the shade it has this problem 
the pennisetums in the garden beds (see photo) have all been trimmed back ready for the new growth
this week we are picking up the piles of sticks around the place and well do some more trimming on the tidy up holes 10,11,12 this week
next week we plan to dig and find the drainage leak on the left hand side of the 18th fairway
and the 7th weir continues to get some much needed attention... till next time,,keep swinging..pete
