Bird damage

Along with the challenging mild conditions this winter which has kept us cutting more than we ever have done, we're also spending lots of time fixing bird damage!!!!

8th-9th of December - Micro Tining

This week we have micro-tined the main 18 greens at 4 inches deep followed by cutting and rolling them. The turf iron we use to roll the greens after is fantastic and smoothes out the putting surface that much you can hardly tell they've been areated.

Dec 2015

As the mild winter continues, so does the disease activity on and around the greens.
Fusarium which is fungal seems to be causing the biggest problem currently and has been treated with a systemic and contact chemical which stops spore germination and prevents the spread. 
When active these patches become a red tinted colour around the outside and if not treated straight away with the correct cultural and chemical practise, could lead to the grass putting surface being effected.
