Bye, bye Rye! 🌱☀️

Following the successful introduction of a ryegrass overseed on our practice fairway tee this winter, it was time today to transition back to Couch for the summer growing season.

The results have been fantastic, providing much-needed grass coverage throughout winter when the Couch would traditionally be dormant, often leaving very little grass remaining by the end of the season.

Using the Koro Field Topmaker, Glenelg Turf Ace shaved off the ryegrass to expose the underlying Couch to more sunlight, encouraging it to break dormancy and kick-start its recovery. A circle cut and fertiliser application should help the Couch bounce back over the coming weeks.

Another successful initiative to improve year-round playing surfaces and keep our practice facilities in great shape! 👏🌱 Glenelg Golf Club Glenelg Golf Club - Course Maintenance Team

After one of the wettest winters in recent years, it’s fantastic to see the course shine through spring.

Our course team has worked incredibly hard through challenging conditions this winter to have Glenelg looking its best for the October long weekend’s Club Championships.

How the course was presented over the weekend was a great reward for the team’s hard work, commitment and pride in what they do.
Congratulations to all the participants and winners from all grades!

Looking forward to what summer has in store for us!

Spectacular sunrise this morning!

Our Course Crew are up bright and early every day, preparing our magnificent course and getting to soak up some pretty special sunrises along the way.

In case you missed this morning’s beauty, enjoy a few snaps from different locations around the course as the team set up for the 5AA Golf Day.

🌿🐟 Olive Perchlet Update🐟🌿
Last Friday, we received some exciting news following fish monitoring and stocking activities in our water courses.
Fyke nets were set and monitored across our wetlands by Nature Glenelg Trust, with an incredible 750+ Olive Perchlet recorded in Wetland 1 alone. This is a fantastic result and clear evidence that the population is thriving within the habitat that has been created and restored despite the presence of our Penicans!
In addition, Olive Perchlet were also identified in the water feature on hole 13, with further stockings undertaken on the day to strengthen populations and increase genetic diversity.
To support these efforts, more than 3,000 Olive Perchlet were transported from NSW to South Australia and released to assist ongoing the conservation and the breeding program here at Glenelg.
This project demonstrates the important role golf courses can play in protecting and enhancing native ecosystems, creating valuable refuge areas for threatened species while delivering meaningful environmental outcomes.
👏 A fantastic result for everyone involved in this conservation partnership. The R&A Green Adelaide Our Astma Glenelg Golf Club Turf Management SA

First Green STEM: Beyond the Classroom

In collaboration with Australian Sports Turf Managers Association and the Department for Education, Glenelg Golf Club proudly hosted our third Pathways Workshop, welcoming 15 enthusiastic students from Golden Grove High School, Urrbrae Agricultural High School and Bowden Brompton Community School.

Turf Management is so much more than just cutting grass, and the students experienced that firsthand through:
💧 Water Usage & Conservation with Superintendent Tim Warren
🚜 Mowing Magic inside the Mechanical Shed with 2IC Adam Fry
🛠 Tools on the Green with Chris McCullough from ASTMA and Senior Assistant Susan Oliveira
🐝 Bee Conservation and our Course Bee Hives with Monica from Mondees Bees

We wrapped up the day with a fun closest-to-the-pin challenge!

A fantastic opportunity to introduce students to hands-on learning and career pathways within the turf industry.

For more information or to get involved, please contact Lauren at [email protected].

The Glenelg Golf Club - Course Maintenance Team stepped up again this long weekend to prepare the course for the women’s qualifying round of the Australian Open Golf.

With the rainfall that we received last week coupled with solid cultural turf programs has the course looking and playing a treat!

Well done to the team for coming in on a long weekend to show the course in its best possible light!

It’s not every day that a three-time major winner like Minjee Lee is on our practice fairway, fine-tuning her game ahead of the Australian Women’s Open at Kooyonga Golf Club this March.

Working alongside Ryan Lumsden, Minjee kindly took the time to grab a photo with our Course Maintenance team.
As a “former” course record holder here at Glenelg (pre course construction), we can’t wait for the day that you return to regain your record! 😉

Best of luck at Kooyonga in March, Minjee! 👏⛳
