“This past week, the Golf Course Maintenance team has been focused on maintaining the course surfaces, with mowing being the primary task. However, this has proven to be a challenge due to the recent rainfall, with 104mm falling over the last weekend. Looking ahead, the team’s main priority for the coming weeks will be overseeding the tees on both courses with Poa Trivialis. The first step in this process has involved solid tining the tees with 10mm tines, followed by mowing the tees down to 6mm. Unfortunately, the weather has also delayed recent fertilising and spraying applications, but these will be prioritised as soon as conditions allow. The team is hopeful for some clear weather in the near future to allow for continued progress.“ |
This week, the team completed the following on The Palms and The Pines golf courses:
Scalped The Pines tees down to 6mm for over-seeding preparation
Solid tined (10mm) The Palms tees
Continued mulching tree debris on The Pines
Commenced trimming irrigation valve lids on both courses
Began to mow rough on The Palms
Trimmed The Palms greenside sprinklers
Cleared high water mark debris on fairways
Next week, the team plans to do the following on both golf courses:
Over sow The Pines tees.
Scalp The Palms tees down to 6mm for over seeding preparation
Apply fungicide on both courses
Apply foliar fertiliser on The Palms fairways, tees, and aprons
Continue trimming irrigation valve lids, sprinklers, and drainage pits on both courses.
