Dear members,

An update for you all as to what tasks have been carried out on the course this week.

All green side bunkers weeded, sand levels checked and adjusted and raked completely
All greens rolled twice
All pin placements changed
Irrigation system charged up for the season
A & B fertilised wall to wall with spring fertiliser
All greens sprayed with spring fertiliser
A loop greens seeded with creeping bent grass
All tees divoted
Robots returned to the course and all fairways have received their first cut of the season

White metal poles have been placed around the course; this is to mark where trees are to be moved from C loop throughout next week.

Also next week we plan to complete aeration on fore greens on C Loop with sand applied and hopefully work to prepare all fairway bunkers by next Friday and spray C Loop wall to wall with spring fertiliser, this consists of iron, magnesium and ammonium sulphate.

So all in all a very busy week even with the frost delays which can also be expected over the weekend.

Kind regards,

Reamonn O’Neill
Golf Course Superintendent
