Rolling into April

This week, we have taken advantage of some fairly kind weather and we have managed to prepare the golf course to what could be considered a more defined  set of playing surfaces:

- Tees and approaches cut
- Fairways brushed and cut
- Greens rolled twice and cut Friday

You will also notice, when you are putting, that there are small holes in the greens' surfaces. We decided to continue our aeration practices by using our Sarel Roller. 

Quite simply, the Sarel Roller pricks small holes into the surface to ensure that the greens stay dry. We then followed this operation with the greens mower to smooth over the surface and to restore playability. 

I took the opportunity to have a quick putt on the Putting Green and I'm of the opinion that ball roll was pretty good bearing in mind we've had approx 25mm (1 inch) of rainfall this week. 

Anyway, as usual, below are a few photos of our trusty Sarel Roller:




Enjoy your golf this weekend and let's look forward to April!
