Tuesday 15th September

Weather
An improving picture for Tuesday, early on could be a bit damp and drizzly as the weather front eases. Any dampness should clear away by mid morning with sunshine and cloud to follow. The humid feeling should ease a bit as well with a light north westerly breeze chasing away the cloud. Temperatures will be in the mid to high teens.

Tuesdays jobs
A bit of early cutting of greens and semi rough will run alongside a hole change. We have a few mechanical things to look at on a couple of machines too. If all goes to plan we hope to continue working on bringing in the Storm Goretti logs and woodchips, targeting the side of the 13th hole on Tuesday. Our thanks go to the volunteers in advance who will be assisting in this task as well.

Info
It’s not a new parking place but a machinery issue that means one of our mowers is stuck out on course at the moment. Hopefully we will get it either going or towed in on Tuesday. It’s an interesting issue and currently not towable, hence its temporary parking position.

Monday 14th September

Weather
A fairly benign day of weather on Monday. A mostly cloudy day with only a very low chance of the odd drizzly patch early on. More likely is the sun breaking through at times. Temperatures should get into the low twenties, with a light south westerly breeze feeding in slightly warm air.

Mondays jobs
A day of cutting ahead to start the weeks work off and maintain definition of the cutting surfaces. This will free us up for a day working with the volunteers on clearing more Storm Goretti damage on Tuesday. Greens, tees, approaches and fairways in the plan.

Weekend Report
Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th September

Weather
A battle between high pressure to the south and low pressure and rain to the north plays out over the weekend.
On Saturday the high pressure should hold on and win, it’ll start sunny but cloud will build through the day as the front approaches. It should stay dry though. A light south westerly breeze will blow and temperatures should climb to around 20-21°.
The forecasts on Sunday are less certain, some show the front and the rain holding off until late in the day. Most show some rain and drizzle possible throughout what will certainly be a dull and cloudy day. Wind direction, strength and the days temperature will remain similar to Saturday.

Weekend work
A cut of the greens, set of the markers and full rake of the bunkers are the usual weekend tasks. We are four days post greens maintenance now so will be switching back to the main greens mower now most of the sand has gone.

Info
A busy week including greens maintenance, tree surgeons on site and a growth flush has kept us fairly busy. The course is starting to green up well mostly, but obviously recovery is patchy in nature after such a dry spell. Some high foot traffic or very burnt off areas are still in the bare and greasy straw coloured looking stage of recovery. They will catch up in time but a couple of wet weeks will not fully undo months of dry weather, that said I am surprised how fast the grass is starting to come back.

Friday 11th September

Weather
A mixture of sunshine and cloud for Friday. Early on there may still be a couple of straggling showers from a weak weather front that passed overnight. A light north westerly breeze will blow throughout the day, temperatures in the 18-21° range.

Fridays jobs
We are going to squeeze in a second cut of some areas of the course in Friday. After an early hole change and bunker rake we will be cutting greens, approaches, semi rough and fairways.

Info
The course is experiencing a bit of a flush of growth as it recovers from the dry spell. Partly caused by our aeration and feeding, but mostly just weather. The return of the rain has brought the grass out of dormancy and coupled with warm air and ground temperatures conditions it’s ideal for growth.
Also ideal conditions for fungal diseases and we have a smattering of a couple in sheltered spots with less light and airflow. We will monitor and treat when needed.

Thursday 10th September

Weather
A bit of a dull and potentially drizzly day lies ahead. It looks like being a cloudy start with scattered mizzly showers possible. The rest of the day continues in the same vein with the shower and rain risk increasing during the afternoon and early evening. The winds will of swung to a light south westerly and temperatures will stay in the high teens to twenty range.

Thursdays work
Greens maintenance and heavy rain on Tuesday has condensed all our cutting into the end of the week so it’s a case of going again on Thursday. Greens, tees, rough and semi rough all on the agenda. We may start a second cut of fairways as well. It’s quite strange to have grass to cut again suddenly, before I went away it was all very brown, quite a change in two weeks!

Wednesday 9th September

Weather
A day of sunshine, cloud and very occasional showers is forecast for Wednesday. The north westerly breeze will keep things a bit cooler with max temperatures struggling to get out of the teens. Still much better than the start to Tuesday, just short of 30mm fell overnight and in the morning making it pretty wet early on.

Wednesdays work
The rainfall mentioned above meant we scratched most of Tuesdays plan so it will be carried out a day later instead. Greens, approaches, fairways and rough will be cut during the day. There’s a fair bit of growth around the course so time to get back in top of definition.

Info
After fixing the morning flooding on Tuesday by squeegeeing and shovelling up bunker washout we spent the rest of the day clearing storm Goretti damage. The big tractor and trailer was used to clear piles of woodchip/mulch around the 3rd and 4th holes. It’s being moved to a centralised pile where it can break down over time near the path to the 5th tee. Thanks to the volunteers who were also working in these areas, raking up debris and strimming them clear. Our thanks as always for yet another hard days graft.
We did manage to cut some tees and some rough during the day as it dried up later on.

Tuesday 8th September

Weather
A large front of rain will pass overnight into Tuesday, bringing somewhere between 5-15mm of rain. Hopefully it will clear away around dawn, though it may stay damp and drizzly until mid morning. Most of Tuesday will then be a mixture of sunshine and cloud and feeling quite pleasant. A north westerly breeze and temperatures in the high teens.

Tuesdays jobs
After quite a busy and hectic Monday of jobs we will be looking at more traditional tasks in Tuesday. There is now some grass to cut again, so tees, approaches, fairways and some rough will be on the agenda. An early greens cut may be attempted but it depends on how much the overnight rain has washed in the topdressing. Holes will be changed regardless. Thanks in advance to the volunteers who will be tidying up various areas around the course where we have started to collect in logs from the storm damage.

Info
The team worked hard on Monday to squeeze in some greens maintenance ahead of the forecast overnight rain. Greens were aerated with fairly chunky solid tines with a fairly tight spacing. This was followed by a cut to start to roll them back smooth and then a light topdressing. A heavier topdressing will take place during our autumn maintenance but it’s always worth adding a bit of sand when possible, so we got down between 15-20 tonnes. A quick brush in during the afternoon started to clear it from the surface, hopefully the nights rain will do the rest.
Alongside this process we also had TP tree services back on site to deal with the damaged tree beside the 6th hole. This came down and a program of work was arranged while I was away.
On inspection from the cherry picker many of the neighbouring trees large, weighty overhanging branches were in poor state so have been trimmed back too. This also improves the holes playability as these trees have got much bigger than originally anticipated. Some of the low hanging branches on surrounding trees have also been lifted.
A busy return to work!
