Letchworth Golf Club Greenkeepers

[Rob Groves @RobGroves78]

Testing week with early starts and extreme heat but the lads haven’t complained once and just got on with it.
Irrigated areas coping very well. Fairways starting to tinge off a bit. Bio stimulant sprayed on Greens.
Time for a well deserved beer.
Have a good weekend all. 👍🍺

End of a scorching week with thunderstorms to start but everyday over 30° the course has taken it well. ☀️ 🌡️

Nice start to a warm week yesterday trying to cut as much as we can before it gets too hot. Plenty of suncream needed this week☀️

[Letchworth Golf Club Greenkeepers @LGCGreenkeepers]

Hot end to the week, with the full course cut ahead of the weekend. ☀️

Good timings of Wetting Agents and Feeds have kicked the Course into life. Great effort again by the lads as we head towards Presidents’ Day on Sunday. Great to see everyone else’s courses coming to life after a tough start to the year. Patience is key. Have a good weekend. 👍🍺

[Letchworth Golf Club Greenkeepers @LGCGreenkeepers]

Full course cut today in preparation of Sundays presidents day.
The course has greened up majorly over the last couple of weeks with all the rain we’ve had. ☀️

We’ve recently had a fence and netting put in down the side of our driving range to protect the 16 green and 17th tee from wayward shots.

With rain forecast we went ahead and got our fairway fertiliser out this morning, hopefully give them a nice boost with the sunshine and showers expected.

After 8mm of rain over the bank holiday weekend, first bit of rain since the middle of March, we have scarified, top dressed and starting spiking this morning.

[Letchworth Golf Club Greenkeepers @LGCGreenkeepers]

All set up for this mornings Ladies East Region Foursomes. Greens cut and rolled, fairways cut and aprons double cut this morning ☀️

[Rob Groves @RobGroves78]

Due to lack of moisture our yearly scarify
+feed of the fairways is on hold so we decided to give them a brush and double cut to achieve a cleaner cut. Worked well. We are starting to dry out, original 13th green and bunkers are starting to show up. Irrigated areas doing ok. 👍

[Rob Groves @RobGroves78]

Another great effort from the team this week a lot of the jobs that no one really notices done this week. Course looks a lot tidier for it. Still no rain since 20th March and none forecast but we’re doing ok at the moment. Renovated areas recovering slowly but well. Enjoy. 😉 👍

The end of another dry week, and no rain in sight. Who would’ve thought back in winter that now we would be begging for rain.

[Letchworth Golf Club Greenkeepers @LGCGreenkeepers]

Nice double cut on the tees this afternoon after reducing the height down to its summer height.

[Letchworth Golf Club Greenkeepers @LGCGreenkeepers]

3 weeks post tee renovation, good too see the seed coming through. 🌱

[Letchworth Golf Club Greenkeepers @LGCGreenkeepers]

Good start to a nice warm week with greens double cut and sprayed post renovation, as well as aprons.☀️

[Letchworth Golf Club Greenkeepers @LGCGreenkeepers]

Greens renovations have started this morning, punching holes before we overseed, roll, top dress and brush in. Just hope for some sunshine now.

[Rob Groves @RobGroves78]

The end of an extremely busy week, approaches had the same treatment as tees last week. Course tidied after high winds. Course set up for the weekend. All areas cut. Tees had a granular feed now the irrigation system is up and running. Greens next week. Have a good one 👍👊

[Letchworth Golf Club Greenkeepers @LGCGreenkeepers]

Tees renovation last week, aprons this week, scarify, core, sarel roll, over seed and a top dress of sand which is brushing in nicely with today’s sunshine ☀️.

[Letchworth Golf Club Greenkeepers @LGCGreenkeepers]

Warm and sunny this week so we went ahead with Tee renovations. Double scarify, followed by hollow-coring. With over seeding and top dressing to come later this week. As well as managing to get a spray on the greens and the course cut, busy week ahead
