Friday 4th November.

Groundstaff have been working feverishly this week to complete all the verti-mowing of our fairways.
This has worked and been completed really well in 4 days with the use of our verti-mower units that fit onto our fairway mowing unit, our Rake-o-vac unit and blower unit.
Significant amounts of grass have been removed from the fairways and we will see a great result from this procedure in about a month.
Thanks again to my staff for their hard work this week.
Next week 9 holes will be closed on Monday and Tuesday so contractors can complete the coring of the fairways. This will allow good movement of fertiliser and irrigation water into the rootzone and provide much-needed oxygen to the rootzone also.
We have borrowed a Core Processing unit from Sun City CC to clean up the cores behind the contractors with this exercise expected to take just the 2 days.
In the weeks that follow our renovation period we will apply both wetting agent and fertiliser to achieve sound recovery through the coming weeks.
