Good morning from the 4th Oldest…

Some off the early morning sunrises are quite spectacular when the guys are in for their weekend shift 📸

Mid season maintenance week - VGR work being carried out over the putting surfaces. 30-40 tons (aprox) of sand worked into the profile to help with aeration, root health & dilute OM levels. Great work from the team to keep the surfaces strong for the remainder of the season.

Great for the team to be involved with the latest First Aid Training. Plenty new practices and good to refresh the memory. Well done to all involved 👍🏼

One of the team managed to capture this cracking landscape today during the heavy rain showers & very blustery conditions!!

TX10 working away nicely after being washed in by the reason downpours Plant health & timing is always key 👌🏼 🌱 🌱 🌱 @Aitkens_turf @terralift

Productive day on the course. Bunker maintenance throughout the day & a dry/clean double cut on the approaches ☀️ ☀️

A slight change in our reno work due to strong/drying winds & a rise in temperatures at the end of the week. 🟢 Aeration work carried out with our Air2g2 machine 🟢 selected greens & higher ridges/slopes over seeded with All Bent at 5gm/m2 🟢 Finished off with a roll 🌱.

After a warm, dry & very windy period… You really can’t beat natural rainfall on the golf course 🙏🏼

With rain due and the course being slightly quieter and coming of the back of another busy spell it was great to get our Air2g2 over the surfaces. Clean ✅ efficient ✅ areation ✅ reduce compaction ✅ stronger root depth✅

Bunker tidy up before Club Championship. PGR & Selective Weedkiller working away nicely 🌱 🌱

All bunker faces sprayed with a foliar, primo maxx & selective weedkiller. Approaches verti cut, cut, fed with CRF slow release granular & top dressed. Semi rough also terra raked to improve lateral growth, hovered with our toro proline then cut with a sidewinder.

Hopefully get some much needed rain over the weekend 🤞🏼🤞🏼😅

Fantastic conditions for mini renovations. Light verti cut - 0.5mm Cut - 3.75mm Over seeding target areas on certain greens with Johnson J All Bent - 5gm/m2 Light top dressing - aprox 8-10 tons Brushed & rolled Finished of with a little drink 👍👍

All set up on a stunning morning for the Grand Match against our neighbours next door the Royal Burgess. A big shout out to all the staff for their continous hard work and efforts. Good luck all.

Stunning morning at the 4th Oldest Society. Enjoy your day & your golf.

All set and ready to go in the sunshine for tomorrows Spring Meeting ☀️☀️

Course is holding up well during these cool (in the mornings), dry, warm & mild conditions. ☀️☀️

Bunker work continues - Sand depths checked Sand movement when required Sand top up in low spots Smooth rake Bunker compacted (whacked) x2 Final rake… Ongoing improvements 👌🏼

Perfect weather conditions for the boom sprayer & knapsack to be out. An application of liquid iron onto the fairways & a mix of liquid N Fe & primo max on the bunker surrounds & faces. 🌱🌱🌱
