After a dry but cool week last week we have finally had a good splash of rain. Firstly a massive pat on the back to the green staff for what was a very busy few weeks in the lead up to the pro am and club competitions held over bank holiday weekend. The course was in great condition given the dry conditions. The pros and amateurs and our members commented on how good the course was and the greens were exceptional for the time of year.
Over the weekend we had 22mm of rain and then another 17mm today. The first batch soaked in well due to the very dry conditions previously. Today the rain fell heavy and puddled up a little.
The 10th green with wet areas on. Thankfully the weather improved this afternoon and the water had chance to drain away. It was nice to see on Monday and this morning the newly drained 12th green was mostly dry.
The drainage working well. Today we made an application of fertiliser to the greens. A 4-0-8 fertiliser to aid recovery and get some growth. The rain washing it in well and just before the wind arrived
