From the Course

Rainfall for the Week: 9.5mm,  Rainfall for 2023: 443.5mm, Dam: 100%   Green Speed: 10.0feet

It’s been a shortened week due to the Easter weekend but that doesn’t mean the team has taken their foot off the pedal. The rain last weekend had a quick effect on playing surfaces turning them very wet and soft due to the fact that moisture levels in the soil profile remain very high, as we haven’t been getting any drying weather conditions in between the rain periods. As soon as the wind arrived on Easter Saturday morning, surfaces improved quickly and we were able to have medical carts on Sunday and full carts on Monday, without any damage to the course.

Fine weather has continued all week and with milder daytime temperatures, greens surfaces have dried out allowing the team to present firmer putting surfaces which in turn increases the speed of the greens.

All areas of the course have been mown this week, and spraying of weeds in gardens has also been performed, to get these areas looking better and maintained.

With greens renovations starting on Monday morning, the team will be coring the 19^th and practice greens on Friday to ensure the verti drain machines are set up correctly so that there are no holdups on Monday morning. Tree contractors will be on course on Monday and Tuesday while it is closed, firstly removing several dead trees that are situated above our dam pumphouse (below the tip area on the 15^th). If any of these dead trees were to fall, significant damage would be caused to our pumphouse which is a vital piece of infrastructure for irrigation needs of our tees and fairways. If time permits and course conditions are ideal (not too wet and soft), the tree contractors will remove a lightning struck tree between the 4^th and 6^th fairways, and tidy up some dead pine trees on Oatlands House driveway.

It will be a very busy 3 days for the team next week, and with a little help from Mother Nature with a nice sunny day on Tuesday, we should have the greens ready for course reopening on Thursday.

Our volunteers had the week off due to Easter, but the small break will prepare them for greens renovations next week. They will assist with the picking up of the cores from the greens, then tee marker and tombstone painting is planned, parking lines in the car park and lines on the speed humps at the 9^th tee will be freshened up, and they are also going to address the exit of the 1^st tee path and install the Geohex product to present an improved appearance to this area.

We will be cutting greens on Saturday and only removing dew from the greens on Sunday.

Have a great weekend!

The Course Team
