Slowly the course moves forward.  Greens have now had the height dropped to 4mm and will be verti-cut and topdressed next week

7th Abbotts

 The season really should have kicked off by now but the weather continues to struggle to reach anything like decent temperatures.  Heavy dressing and tining nearly a month ago went well but no recovery has meant poor bumpy greens.  Compounded by a fresh bought of disease they are performing as badly as we've seen them for years in early spring.

 Over the weekend they have been fed, sprayed for disease, given a tonic of Iron and other macro nutrients and they will have light dressings for the next few weeks.  The weather is now turning the corner and in a few weeks we will lower the height of cut, re-grind the mower units and try to create at least half decent surfaces toward the end of the month.

 Other parts of the course are moving on, albeit slowly with fairways and tees now all been feed.  We have divotted the 7,8,9 and 10th fairways on the Abbotts and just need to paint the new marker posts on the middle practice area to improve short game practicing.
