Hanmer Springs Golf Course Greens Renovations.

Steve and Neil have been busy at work "coring" our greens. Its always disappointing to see our perfect greens undergoing this work but it is essential for the following reasons.

Relieves compaction: After heavy use from mowers and golfers, the soil underneath becomes compacted. Coring breaks this up, allowing the turf to "breathe".
Improves drainage: It creates channels for excess water to drain, preventing root drowning and reducing the risk of disease.
Aids nutrient absorption: It allows fertilizers and other essential nutrients to penetrate the root zone more effectively.
Removes thatch: It removes thatch, which is a layer of organic material that can accumulate and impede water and air movement.
Prepares for weather: It helps prepare greens for wetter conditions by improving drainage.

We expect the greens to recover quickly and be all the better for this work.
