Poulton Park Golf Club - Greenkeeping Department. Keeping golf club members and guests informed about course maintenance and development. Friday, 27 March 2015. When is spring arriving? We have had another very productive week. All fairways and rough have been cut this week as well as the practise range. We will now send our fairway units away for a re-grind. The recent frosts are not overly helpful as they keep the soil temperatures that bit colder which subsequently restricts growth. We also verti drai...

Poulton Park Golf Club - Greenkeeping Department. Keeping golf club members and guests informed about course maintenance and development. Friday, 19 September 2014. Renovation week (part 2). Although these greens won't putt that great, they (alongside the greens scarified last week) have been fertilised to enable recovery. Rolling and mowing next week should help to restore these greens to a truer rolling surface. Also, we should also be extremely grateful to Graham Barber who has managed to restore a pe...

We also managed to topdressed several of the new tees too in order to restore surface levels and help them better withstand wear and tear. This week has...

Poulton Park Golf Club - Greenkeeping Department. Keeping golf club members and guests informed about course maintenance and development. Saturday, 30 May 2015. New apprentice joins team! Great news for the greens team this week. We have a new apprentice in the ranks. Welcome to James, who has had a really good first week of work. He will assist Ryan and I in developing the golf course further. The greens are now firming up very well and hopefully, surface trueness will improve and be more consistent.

Starting Monday 17 November, Lakeland Earthworks will be on site for approximately 2 weeks to carry out a number of small projects. Great news this...

Poulton Park Golf Club - Greenkeeping Department: Continued improvements

http://poultonparkgc.blogspot.com/2015/07/continued-improvements.html

Poulton Park Golf Club - Greenkeeping Department. Keeping golf club members and guests informed about course maintenance and development. Friday, 3 July 2015. Two weeks ago, we engaged Marcus Gilbert to run the Air2G2 machine across all the greens. This machine injects air at high pressure into the subsoil. The aim of this work is to de compact any hard soil and the air injection fractures the soil, creating fissures through which grass roots can grow deeper and water can drain. Over the last week, we ha...

After a month of work by Lakekand Earthworks, the flood defence work (as far as the golf club is concerned) has finished.

What we should all be pleased ...

It has been a great week for us to prepare the golf course for the Club Championship. The weather has been great, allowing us to get in plenty of mowing. We were sorry to see it leave but, who knows, we might see it back soon! We have had Mark, the chainsaw instructor, back at the golf course this week. He is carefully plotting his way throu...
