Greens maintenance week was interrupted by the weather which caused a delay in the overseeding by 2 weeks. The team have put in a great effort to get the work completed.
We spiked greens using 10mm tines to a depth of 8 inches. Scarified to a depth of 20mm then blown clear, cut and then top-dressed using fs-9 sand and a granular fertiliser applied. We also overseeded the greens using Barenbrug all bent mixture. We continued with our liquid winter feeding program, dew control and intensive wetting agent, this will carry on throughout the winter. We shall continue to monitor the weather and any disease activity and apply the appropriate nutrients and will spot spray with a phosphite and bio stimulant mixture to help. Irrigation system has been shut down by TIS for the winter.
