Preparing for Gents Invitation

This week, we managed to complete the topdressing of the approaches and surrounds. This is a really worthwhile exercise as it helps to keep these areas just off the green firm, smooth and consistent.

The sand fills in any bare areas or any hollows/voids to assist us with mowing and to improve playability for golf.

We will continue to topdress the surrounds over the coming months and keep mowing them twice/week at 10mm. 

Also this week, Alan Cooper kindly sponsored some new yardage discs that you will now see mounted in the middle of the fairways. They look great and are a vast improvement on the awful things that were there previously. Alan & Nick Fletcher put them out on Thursday and I hope you'll agree that they are another step forward in our pursuit of continually raising standards. Great work fellas!

The last 2 weeks have finally allowed us some time to start our mid-season servicing of our mowing machinery. We carry out oil & filter changes alongside greasing, cleaning air filters & radiators and coolant levels. 

It is perhaps part of our work which goes unseen but it is essential that we maintain our machinery fleet to ensure these vital assets can operate to their optimum level.

Have a great weekend and enjoy your golf!
