Autumn renovations

Today we started some Autumn renovation work on the tees. Hollow coring with 16mm tines used to remove large cores from the profile. These holes will be filled with clean sand and then overseeded with bar fescue.

Mini tine aeration

This morning we have carried out some much needed aeration on the greens with 6mm mini tines. Over the past few weeks we have been ironing greens almost daily and this  has sealed the surface slightly meaning heavy rain showers are slower to percolate through the profile. We punched the holes in to a depth of 50mm as we needed to get some  oxygen into the root system and allow the the turf to breath.  There is very little disturbance with this size of tine.
