Over the past week we have seen a steady rise in soil temperatures and they are now reading an average of 12 C over the courses meaning we are now seeing some growth on all areas. Over the past couple of weeks we have been putting a lot of our time into the greens with cutting, shaping, rolling, top dressing, over seeding, fertilising, verti-draining and verti-cutting. All of these procedures are necessary to help with winter recovery. On a whole the greens have come out of winter well and for the time of year are in excellent condition with the exception of few which will require some extra attention but hopefully with this warmer weather and the work being put in will recover quickly. Other work on the courses has included the cutting of tees, approaches, fairways, bankings, divoting, scrub and dead broom clearing, and general tidying up after some strong winds. We are all confident that with the hard work being put in by all greenstaff, the current condition of the courses, and with hopefully the mild weather set to continue we will be back in top condition and it will be a good season to be playing golf at The Blairgowrie Golf Club.
