Boat of Garten Greenkeeper

27/05/2026

A busy couple of weeks on the course for us!

The warm weather has arrived and we are now seeing everything in full growing mode ⛳️

The greens have had a topdressing, and a couple of the slower starting greens have had an over seed, we then applied an organic fertiliser to help speed up the process.

We have been upgrading the sprinkler heads around some of the greens to help with better water coverage.

As always if anybody has any questions please just get in touch 😀

A busy start to our week as we prepare for the week ahead, we have a couple of big comps, with the senior team open on Wednesday and the north district championship on Sunday! ⛳️

Greens have had a stress buster cocktail to try and help with this cold weather we are having!

Fresh snow on the hills as well 🥶

The war with the weather continues!

A beautiful morning but another cold one! 🥶 -2 and a complete covering of frost.

Damaged surrounds!

During the winter we dug up and removed the stones and gravel from a few of our aprons, backfilled with soil and then put in fresh turf, with the growing season starting to kick into action we are seeing the benefit of this work done through the winter.

During the summer we will continue this work, but in smaller batches. There is almost no soil underneath the aprons, and because of this it leads to them being bare and very dry.

The patches will be spiked and filled with rootzone to help hold water, then seeded and watered to try and create some growth!

Course will be open from 8:30 ⛳️
