July News From The Greenkeeper

by

July has been a difficult month with lots of comps, staff absence due to holidays and disease.

The disease has had to be treated as it was starting to get a foot hold. Unfortunately the weather is ideal for the spread of disease as it is warm and wet.
The Victory trophy finally went ahead and a great day with superb weather was had by all involved, especially our team. Congratulations to the lads for their victory.
Myself and the team are going to continue to work hard and get jobs done so that the last few months of the season can be successful and enjoyable for all.
Regards
Dan

June News From The Greenkeeper

by

With Mr. Captain’s Day behind us, we are now busy preparing the course for the Scratch Cup and the other majors that fall in July.

The course has improved over the last month with lots of hard work put in by my team of assistants, so a big thank you to them. There are a few jobs that we will be working hard to get finished off before the Scratch Cup, unfortunately this may cause a little bit of disruption, so please bear with us, we will try not to hold you up too much.
This page will now be updated at least on a monthly basis.
The rainfall figures for this June are 94mm with one day left, the average for the Shevngton / Wigan area is typically 70mm.
