Glen Gorse Greenkeepers

⛳️ Ditches on the 8th, 14th, and 15th were cut and maintained using a Flymo and strimmer. The inside of each ditch was carefully trimmed and cleared of overgrown vegetation, leaving a clean, tidy, and well-presented finish throughout. ⛳️

⛳️ Course looking good for the Seniors open. Good luck 👍⛳️

“Always nice to see wildlife around the golf course. 🦆⛳”

* 👌 Tees have been single cut today and are looking sharp.
* ⛳ Bunkers have been edged with the strimmer and are looking neat and well-defined.
* 🌱 Approaches have been seeded using the seeder.
* 🌱 Any bare areas around the course have also been overseeded to encourage recovery.

“Out with the old and in with the new! ⛳ Our new tee markers are now in place, replacing the old ones that were starting to show their age. A great improvement that gives the course a much smarter look. ⛳️

⛳️ Course Update ⛳️

Bunker Top-Up

* 1st green (left side) completed.
* 11th green (left side) completed.
* 4th green (right side and front) completed.

Using the remaining pallet of turf, we have also turfed:

* The middle section of the 6th fairway.
* The area to the right of the 9th green.

New Equipment
We have purchased a Turf Buddy 15 pedestrian seeder to help seed areas that cannot be accessed with the tractor-mounted seeder. This will allow us to establish grass cover more effectively in smaller and harder-to-reach areas around the course.

Course Maintenance

* Greens were single-cut today.
* Approaches were single-cut.
* Fairways were also cut.

⛳️ Course update ⛳️

A few pictures of the mowing carried out around the course today. The 1st tee, where the hedge was recently removed, has now been turfed.

⛳️ Course Update ⛳️

Today we carried out several maintenance operations across the course to continue improving playing surfaces.

A granular application of Xtend CRF 20-5-10 was applied to all approaches, as well as the men’s and ladies’ first tees. This controlled-release fertiliser provides a steady supply of nutrients to encourage consistent growth, improve turf health and maintain colour over an extended period.

All tees were cut today, and the greens received a single cut to maintain presentation and playing quality.

The greens were also sprayed with Thatch Zyme, an Origin Amenity Solutions product that we are introducing as part of our turf management programme. Thatch Zyme is designed to support the natural breakdown of organic matter within the turf profile, helping to manage thatch levels and create healthier growing conditions for the turf. We look forward to monitoring its performance and the benefits it brings to our greens over the coming weeks.

Thank you for your continued support and enjoy your golf.

⛳️ Course Update ⛳️

It’s been a very hot week on the golf course, but the team has been hard at work to keep everything looking its best. All areas have now been cut and are in excellent condition, with plenty of definition throughout the course heading into the weekend.

We’ve also said goodbye to the old bunker rakes and introduced new aluminium rakes across the course. The longer wooden rakes have now been relocated to the fairway bunkers.

Best of luck to everyone competing in the competitions this Saturday and Sunday. We hope you enjoy the course and have a great weekend of golf!
