Begynner å få mer oversikt over tilstanden

Dear Members
 
Spring is finally starting to appear here at Losby.
This has enabled us to have a better, but still incomplete, overview of the course. Greens, as expected, have some damage to the turf. This varies quite differently throughout the course; greens 10 and 12 have suffered quite significant damage, and most greens have some sore areas ranging from a few m2 up to 5-30% of the surface. With the grass only snow and ice free for 14 days, its too early to say what will recover naturally, and what will not. With this in mind, we started a total renovation process on our greens this week. The renovation process went as follows:

Deep verti-cutting to allow channels for seed.
Complete seed coverage using 2 types of creeping bent.
Light sand dressing.
Another pass with seed.
Using switch canes to move the sand and seed into the channels.
Application of fertiliser.
Water.
Sheets on.

Now we play the waiting game as far as the greens go. Ideally, we have nice high teens plus temperatures during the day and +5 and above during the night, this will aid recovery and help with germination of the seed.

The tees have faired much better with minimal damage, and the fairways are under snow still.

The target for the driving range is next weekend. However, this might change if we have a rainy wet period. New mats will be installed at the range before opening, but we will hold back on the new rangeballs for the first period -so they do not get damaged right away.

Check back on our website or Facebook page for the most up to date news.
 
Best Regards
Duncan and Team.
