Leaves

Well we have reached the point where leaves are falling faster than we can pick them up. The cold nights couple with a couple of windy days has started the mass fall. Cold nights naturally make the trees go into storage mode, when they start keeping the energy in the tree ready for the spring where new leaves and fruits will be formed. This caused the leaves to loose there vigour and detach themselves from the tree. The colder it gets the more they turn. Some trees loose them before others. But the majority now are turning and dropping leaves daily. 

We are out with blowers daily but it's a long process when you have 10s of thousands of trees surrounding the course it's not easy. Please use the leaf rule to keep play moving smoothly. 

Grass is slowly growing still so we are out cutting. This week we have cut tees, fairways, greens, surrounds and approaches. All areas are looking good for the time of year. 

The lawn sand we applied to 19-27 greens has turned the greens darker and the iron has started acting on any moss. 

Tees have now been tined. 

And bunkers blown out, tidied and raked.
