Chris satellite rolling the greens. This is a light aeration to the top 25mm of the profile and the brush stands the grass up to take any long ends off. 





Julian star tining the greens this is part of the on going aeration programme. It tremendously helps root growth and against compaction. 

This causes minimal disruption to the greens and once they are cut again the surface is back to normal. 


Tyler cutting the greens after Julian has been star tining.




You will notice on certain holes changes to our rough. We have taken advice from the STRI on this and part of the ongoing reports on the course to create areas for ecology. You will notice this defines the holes more clearly.

We are also saving man hours which can be deployed on vital areas of the course.

The process going forward will be to annually cut and collect this, know as "bailing".
We have the STRI report which details this whole work which is available for the membership to view.




Pike Hills summer BBQ is this Saturday, tickets are £10 adults, £5 under 12's.

We have live music from "The Mix",

STARt at 7pm, TICKETS AVAILABLE IN THE OFFICE AND BAR.
