Tining complete

The last day of 19-27 closure was today, tomorrow we will try to cut or roll the recently tined greens. With starting them a day later they won't be in the best of shape come the weekend but will get back to something like for next week. It is really difficult to do anything with them on a morning as the dew makes the sand sticky and pulls up on the rollers. Whilst the holes were closed we finished edging the rest of the bunkers.
The greens have been sprayed with fertiliser and seaweed to keep growing the anthracnose out and to help fill in any sandy areas left on 10-18. 
Before the verti drain machine was taken off we tined surrounds and some compacted areas on holes 1-18. 
Next week we are on to another big job, cutting and collection of all the long rough on the course. This is done to enable us to collect leaves and for regeneration of the grass next year.
