Summer Work

At this time of year we are doing the same jobs day in and day out, Mowing greens, tees, approaches, fairways, rough, semi-rough, raking bunkers and setting up the course. We also have a lot of different jobs going on. At the moment we are focusing on divoting all the fairways, as you can see from the pictures below, there is a lot of them, due to the increased amount of play the course receives in the summer. We are also sodding all the bad areas in the fairways that resulted from the extremely wet winter, spraying all our spinneys with round-up and selectively spraying for weeds on the course. This morning we verticut the greens and topdressed them. We will be verticutting again next week with special units that remove more seed heads from the plant which should make the greens a little quicker and smoother.
