Course Update – 22nd June

We continue to experience ongoing motorcycle vandalism across the golf course. To help deter this activity and monitor the situation, I will be carrying out random late-evening checks around the course. If you see a black 4x4 driving around at unusual times, please don’t be alarmed.

The greens remain in a good place. Our irrigation programmes are working well alongside the current nutrition programme, helping maintain healthy growth and consistent playing surfaces. There is some minor disease activity present on the course, but it is being closely monitored and remains fully under control.

A verti-cut and cut of the greens is planned for Tuesday 23rd June. Following this, we are expecting very high temperatures, potentially reaching 40°C later in the week. To reduce stress on the turf, the greens will only be rolled for the remainder of the week. As a result, green speeds may be temporarily slower than normal, but this approach will help protect surface quality during the extreme conditions.

We also have a selective herbicide application planned for the tees and approaches in the coming days to continue improving overall presentation and turf quality.

Thank you for your continued support.
