…the greenkeeping team are working to a simple maintenance schedule as follows:
* Greens are cut 5 times a week with two fallow days – Monday and Thursday (unless there is a match, so technically, up to 7 days per week)
* Greens are sorell rolled 1 x per week to aerate and to help with irrigation
* Greens are groomed once per week to reduce Poa and vertically cut in order to improve green health, consistency and speed
* The greens have wetting agents applied 1 x per week to help retain water in the root zone
* First cut rough around the greens and fairways are cut 2 x per week
* Second cut rough is cut 1 x per week
* Tees are cut 2 x per week
* Fairways are cut 1 or 2 x per week (depending on spraying and growth)
* The bunkers on each hole are de-weeded and managed every week
* All grass around the club house and practice green are cut by an additional resource
Quite a change from the project work across the winter and spring (if you can call that snowy period this year, spring).
