Courses have received a battering in the last few days so hopefully we can miss the worst of the incoming weather.  Greens on both courses have been fertilized this week in the hope we can force on some growth.  As you can see on the course the greens have lots of black footprints on, especially around the hole.  This is caused by the high salt content in the fertilizer which draws the moisture out of the plant and leaves a burn mark on the green.  Normally we would water the fertilizer in after application to avoid this but with the irrigation not primed up and plenty of moisture in the air we have allowed some footprints to occur although most will disappear in the next few days.  








The horse damage of last week has recovered well with the Abbotts only showing scars on 9 and 11.  The Priors was hit harder but its only the 10th that shows up today.  I'm on my way to give Mickey Mouse a big cuddle for the next few days and with any luck get to eat some nice juicy burgers in Paris.
