Greens Renovations (Coring)

The dates for this years coring have been set for the 27th and 28th of October. The course will remain open on one side during this process. The greens will be playable straight away afterwards but will not be up to their normal standard. 

 Why Coring is Important

• Relieves compaction: Heavy foot traffic and equipment compress the soil, restricting root growth.

• Improves flow: It creates channels that allow air, water, and essential nutrients to penetrate deep into the root zone.

• Reduces thatch: Physically removes the buildup of dead organic debris that traps moisture and weakens grass.

• Aids recovery: Promotes deeper, more resilient root systems for a smoother, healthier playing surface.

Our Summer Greens keeper

Dean Pollock has joined the staff and will work over the busy growing season.Dean will be a great help to Steve and Neil and an important asset in keeping our course in tip top shape. Give him a big wave when you see him.
