Ever time it rains the square covered the only water it gets is vi tap water . This is common any opportunity and you take it . The watering we try to achieve is in the inches not mm, so constant watering at end of games is needed . Small windows

This is a NON fine turf area but you can clearly see the damage caused by walking on grass that has frost on it , good reason why greenkeepers want people to stay off the turf during frosts ❄️

Let’s be honest it can’t always look pristine and look a little closer it’s covered in disease ie Red thread & looking weak but understandable after non stop rain.Let’s look at how it really looks..
We don’t live in a perfect world..

First Cut , better grass cover than last year just got the seed anchored in so less wash off. Possible some overseeding to do but have to see how things thickens out. 🌱🌱

Compaction from goalkeeper, need a gentle lifting also know as heave which in turn decompacts the area.
Aeration of this type will allow rain water infiltration and better rooting, which follow the fork channels ..
Note circular action at the end of exiting hole.

Helpful Hacks 🌱
Not my idea, like most ideas stolen from someone but if you trim down your pitch marking out brush , you get a more accurate and less wavy line .
If you have any hacks leave in the comments 👇
