Course and Club Update

Dear Members, 

12^th Green Update

In January, the 12^th green suffered some damage due to heat stress. In the recent renovation, the soil profile was increased in certain parts of green, this makes the green much more vulnerable during the hot days of summer. Unfortunately, some areas of the green needed to be replaced and other small parts have been hand hollow cored to allow air though the profile. The height of the green has been increased and will remain slightly longer than the other greens until the end of summer. This is not desired, however, we will do whatever is required to enable the green to recover to full health.

12^th green turfing repairs

7^th Green Surrounds

Over the past few months, the front of the 7^th green has shown signs of disease and uneven turf. It appeared the drainage in the green has stopped working. Sam and his team removed the turf from the front of the green and collar, lowered the level to allow surface water to exit the green. Even though these works were successful, the issue was in the sand profile (300 mm deep) as well as the surface. Sam located the old drainage in the front and side of the green and replaced the storm water outlet, which carries the water from the greens profile to the wetland on the left hand side.

As you can see below in the photos, a huge job, completed in two days, repaired and replaced and most members wouldn’t know anything occurred. Great Job Sam and the greens team.
