The Palms golf course is showing excellent progress as we build toward the Australian WPGA Championship, now just five weeks away. All playing surfaces are trending in the right direction and approaching peak condition. Our focus has shifted to detailed course work to ensure final preparations are as seamless as possible ahead of the event. The Pines golf course is recovering as expected, with greens now being mowed daily to support healthy growth and presentation. Fairways, tees, and surrounds have all received fertiliser in anticipation of the forecast rain this weekend. Both golf courses are expected to respond very well to the much-needed fresh water, which we have not seen for some time. |
Next week, the following will be addressed:
Verti‑cut and dust (light top‑dress) the greens on The Pines golf course
Apply fungicide on The Pines golf course for fairy ring control
Complete the gypsum application on the fairways on The Pines golf course
Continue mowing the rough on The Pines golf course
Apply granular fertiliser to the tees, aprons, and fairways on The Palms golf course
Apply foliar fertiliser to the tees, aprons, and fairways on The Pines golf course
Continue re‑turfing bare areas on The Palms golf course
Roll and fertilise the new nursery green on The Palms golf course
