Afternoon everyone, we have noticed over the past few days that the greens are being heavily hit with pitch marks and not being repaired or repaired correctly! This is starting to have a big effect on the greens so if everyone can do what they can to repair their pitch marks that would be much appreciated

💎 You've got to love a diamond stripe 💎

The Fairways are coming on great this year so shout out to Simon Plummer for his hard work on them

Over the next 2 days we will be taking our snake rotary mower over them to help cut back any stalks that could be popping up on the fairways

Ever wondered what this little thing is you might see every morning being put into the greens?

It is called a pogo and it has many uses that benefit the greens and gives us the info we need, but we use it mainly for moisture readings

So what we do is take 18-20 readings from around the green by inserting this into the ground. This then takes a moisture readings from each spot we have tested and sends it to our phones for all of the greenkeepers to see. After all 18-20 samples are taken it gives us an overview of the whole green and where we might be high and low in moisture. By looking at the overview we can determine where to hand water with a wetting agent pellet if the moisture is too low. also by doing this process helps us to save water and in these hot days which is very beneficial
