Pencil tining

Today we pencil tined all of our greens. In this process we remove a small core from the greens using our tractor mounted hollow corer. There are many benefits to this process, it relieves soil compaction, creates more air space in the soil and controls organic matter. The next step is to top dress the greens with new sand, filling in all the holes. As we chose only to take a small core, we expect the greens to recover quickly.

New bunkers and Tee box

This week we created two new bunkers on the golf course, one at the back of the 6th green and the other at the back of the 10th green. The soil that we took from these two areas was used to make a small championship tee box on the 15th hole, a project that will be finished next week.
