Spring
greens maintenance is over for another year with the greens back in play ahead
of schedule. This year we reduced the spacing of the pro core machine removing
a vast amount of organic matter which had accumulated over the winter months.
Despite one day of heavy rain this year the weather played ball allowing us to
work 60 tonnes of top dressing into the profile. We appreciate this may cause
some disruption to play initially but thank you for your patients on what is a
vital part of sportsturf maintenance.
A short video of some of the tasks involved during greens maintenance. Please excuse the filming, it was my first attempt at editing a gopro video.
A detailed graphic showing the importance of aeration.
Cores ready for collection on the 1st green.
Top dressing applied.
Its fair to say, plenty of organic matter was removed.
Greens cut a week later.
Holes filled and recovering well, back on main greens ahead of schedule.
