Great week with regard to work on both courses and a glimpse of some spring weather on Tuesday but sadly back to cold and rain today.
Surrounds on both courses have been aerated using the pro core fitted with 15mm solid tines, this will be our last pass with these tines as we move to the 8-10mm tines which we use on greens and tees during the playing season.
The nutrition programme has started this week with our first real application to greens, collars, aprons and tees using lawn sand, we are hoping next week to get some dressing on the greens but the forecast does not look great.
The greens have been pedestrian cut twice this week at 5.5mm and are running and playing well. Both of the major renovation/improvement projects have progressed well, the left hand side of the 5th Highgate is now complete and shaping work has continued on the right hand side. I have included pictures below to illustrate the progress made. The work on the 9th lodge is moving at pace with the majority of mounding know completely shaped with only a few minor tweaks to make. Fescue and heather turf has been used to cover tops of mounding to give character and a great look authentic to the surrounding environment.

This last picture is the rear run of area we have created. All the pictures below are the fescue/heather turfing which has been completed on the 9th Lodge. Great work
