As you can see below with the light dusting of dressing we are giving the greens, spring is moving closer.  Greenkeeping is always difficult in early spring as we are trying to force the course on without the weather.  Grass always grows once the temperature is in the positive, but this relates to the soil and not the air and good steady growth is only achieved once the soil reaches 6 degrees.  As you can see when venturing out, actual temperature rarely goes above this in March and then for only a short period.  So patience is the key word. The dressing will help to smooth out any imperfections and firm the surface up.  All greens have been feed with a light liquid concoction although the weather for next week looks like a return to colder more wintry conditions.
