Captain's Day


We have had a great week, weather wise, and it has served us well in getting the course as presentable as possible for Captain, Jeff Perkin and the rest of the members.

Hitting mid-June, we believe the course is starting to look fairly decent now. The greens have had some Nitrogen fertiliser this week to improve sward density and they are rolling nicely. More topdressing over the coming months will assist with surface firmness and smoothness.

We are pleased with the decision to lower the mowing height on tees & surrounds to 10mm (3/8 inch) and this has paid great dividends. They are now nice and tight with the option for golfers to putt, lob wedge, pitch or bump and run off them. A nice tight surface helps to promote check and spin. Good luck with that!


Congratulations to Ryan for passing his PA2 spraying course this week. He can operate a tractor mounted sprayer legally now. So well done Ryan!

Finally, may we wish Mr Captain a great day tomorrow! Enjoy your golf!
