GREENS TEAM

For those of you who thought that the Autumn renovations was the end of the work for the Greens Team until the season start, how wrong can you be.

We have been regularly mowing ! Slit tining , fertilising , spraying fungicides and lots of clearing up .

Trefor has been constantly examining the greens along with Dave and the corresponding actions taken mostly by a limited number from the team.

Today with 6 of the team members we were able, on both greens, to brush, mow and spray fungicide and Aquaritin . Moss was raked around the edges of the bottom green, ditches cleared, edging done and general tidy up. A great achievement !

We take this opportunity to remind all members that the team needs more support so do not hesitate to offer your help there is always something to do.

Just contact any of the team you know who they are don’t you !

The shield was presented at the Wiltshire Short Mat County and National Qualifiers in Chippenham on Sunday.

AUTUMN RENOVATIONS 2024

What a team!

This year we had the challenge to complete the Autumn Renovations for the 2 greens, seeking windows of opportunity in the weather and relying on the team spirit of  a group of more than 18 volunteer members of our club.

This week we tackled both greens, moving 10 tonnes of top dressing by hand and that was just the beginning. Spreading fertiliser and grass seed followed by the top dressing and levelling with the lute. In all we spent over 12 hours to complete this task and even managed to put into storage the benches and ditch mats for the winter.

This was a fantastic achievement demonstrating what it means to be a true member of a club.

We hope you will enjoy the result of this work next season !
