Course Report

We had our first 1st 9am "Course Works - delayed start" on Monday, 17 April this week. With this extra time we were able to undertake a light 'top dressing' of sand on all of our greens which greatly benefits them moving forward.

The sand needed about 2 hours to dry and was then rubbed in with a large synthetic grass mat in front of play.

We do this to improve smoothness/firmness and for a more consistent ball roll for our players.

See photos depicting this process.
