Job well done!

Renovations of the Pines golf course were successfully completed. The rain that we were hoping for came a few hours earlier than we would have liked but we managed to get all our tasks finished successfully. I would like to thank all my staff for the long, hard hours they have put in this week and also their diligence in making sure the job was done to the best possible standard. Thank you also to our members and neighbours for their patience while we carried out this vital maintenance.

Renovations - day 2

Another fine day allowed us to continue our steady progress from the previous day. All greens are now complete. Tees and surrounds have all been scarified and scalp cut. Scarifying and verti-draining of the fairways are both on schedule. The forecast for Thursday evening is for a possible thunderstorm which would suit us perfectly to wash in all the fertiliser that we will be applying this week.

Renovations under way

Renovations on the Pines course began yesterday. In spite of a few afternoon showers the weather was extremely kind with warm windy weather allowing the team to make great progress on day one. 15 greens have already been hollow tined and scarified and 9 of them have been top dressed. 14 tees have been scarified and scalp cut. 3 fairways have been verti-drained and 2 scarified and scalp cut. Spreading of amendments on greens has also begun. With fine weather forecast for the rest of the week the course will be back in fine condition for play on Friday.
