Lets not mention the weather!!
Our best wishes go to Malcolm aka The Edge. Malx is away down to Royal Lytham St Annes for two weeks to help out at The Open.

I dont know how he managed to fit all his clothes, duvet, pillow and Nightlight Carebear in to his car but he has arrived safe and well. Good Luck Malx.

This week a break in the weather on Tuesday allowed us to overseed the greens using the DynaSeeders and top-dressing. Just in time before more heavy rain, which was good because it washed in the sand.

If anybody sees the 7th tee - the answer is no, we are not creating the Olympic Rings - more the case of Fairy Rings.

A few around the course treated with a broad spectrum fungicide through the Hydro-ject.

Our Operation Pollinator area has been prepped for seed. The initial plan was to total weedkill the area (which worked) then scarify heavilly (which didnt work) and oversow with the wildflower mix. We ended up scraping the top vegetation away with the digger and levelling out with the lute.

Wildflower mix

also some of our own heather brashings were added to an area.

Seed was put out then rolled with the cambridge roller. New signs c/o Barry in the Paintshop advertising the area.
