Spray going out on the greens today. @OriginAmenity @DraycoteGreens

Lots of hand watering on the greens this week to keep moisture levels up, but they are holding on nicely. Looking like more sunshine and showers next week to green everything back up!

@TonksyRob @GreenkeeperJack @TacitGolfUK Thanks Rob. Much appreciated

Greens have responded well to a spray last week and the course started to get some definition now.

Greens having an application of lawn sand this morning followed by a watering in. And some of the weaker tees being fed with some @OriginAmenity C-Complex followed with some Multigreen 28-0-0 to all tees next week!

Andy and the boys have been busy filling up our new bunkers in on the 5th. They’ve took 20 tonne of china clay sand. Another load coming this week and will be getting onto the 6th bunkers. Many thanks to @BunkerMat_com for lining them all last week.

Greens are getting verti-drained today. Many thanks to @LakesideGm for coming and doing this essential work for us!

[Whitefields Golf Club Greenkeepers @DraycoteGreens]

Finally feels like spring is on its way! With this dry weather a busy week is in store.

[Whitefields Golf Club Greenkeepers @DraycoteGreens]

@TonksyRob Thank you! That’s really appreciated

[Whitefields Golf Club Greenkeepers @DraycoteGreens]

Left hand side of the 8th green has been brought out by up to 3ft. This area has been top dressed and seeded also. ⛳️

[Whitefields Golf Club Greenkeepers @DraycoteGreens]

Bunkers on the 5th have had rootzone added and now are ready for turfing.

[Whitefields Golf Club Greenkeepers @DraycoteGreens]

A mixed bag couple of weeks weather wise with some lovely frosts to heavy rainfall. In between that the new bunkers are starting to take shape on the 5th and the greens are holding up well.

[Whitefields Golf Club Greenkeepers @DraycoteGreens]

Andy and Nigel starting the first of our bunker renovations of the season on the 5th

[Whitefields Golf Club Greenkeepers @DraycoteGreens]

Busy day on the course - greens cut and sprayed, leaves being mulched and blown. Tees being cut and fertilised and a lovely day to go with it ☀️

@justchrislloyd @OriginAmenity Thanks Chris!

[Whitefields Golf Club Greenkeepers @DraycoteGreens]

An application of Ascernity fungicide along with @OriginAmenity PPT114 to help the greens stay disease free post renovations. All playing surfaces will be getting a cut this week as we make the most of the autumn sun.

[Whitefields Golf Club Greenkeepers @DraycoteGreens]

Another dry week down and grass still growing. Greens have come back really well from renovations and should be fully recovered by the end of next week.
