This week started off with beautiful sunshine.

On Monday: Holes were changed, markers moved, newer turfed areas were sprayed with fungicide(azoxystobin), liquid fertiliser(premium n) and a dew preventative.

Sandy changing holes and Craig hiding in the shadow of the bunker.

Greens were cut @ 4.3mm, fairways cut @ 9mm and approaches/green surrounds cut @ 7mm.

On Tuesday: greens were cut and rolled, bunkers raked, areas around the course were sprayed with total weedkiller (roads, shelters, around the sheds etc) and the burn-wall was cleared of weeds and moss.

We also found time to core any areas that were affected with the floods. These areas were all top-dressed and over-seeded behind the corer.

Yesterday, bunkers were raked, greens were cut @ 4mm and green surrounds were cut @ 7mm.

Behind the cut, greens were applied with Scotts 16:0:16 spring start. The approaches and surrounds were applied with Vitax SSD.

Little action shot.

Today, greens dewied then cut when it was dry with the boxes off, total weed killing work was on-going and the tee-banks were flymoed.

The last load of turf arrived for the nursery another 1400 sq m
