WINDSOR GOLF COURSE REPORT

With recent flooding on large parts of the Golf Course the team with help from the Volunteers efforts have got the course back and running.

  • All affected greens 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,11,14,16,17 were washed for silt removal and cleaned off.
  • All green surrounds were washed for silt removal.
  • All affected fairways 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,11,14,15,16,17,18 were drag matted, aerated, ring harrowed and spiral cut 2 times to cut silt out of grass shoots.
  • All the fairways were triple blown off to remove as much silt from surfaces.
  • All affected tees drag matted, aerated and matted again and cut.
  • Debris removed from all parts of course after water level receded.
  • All affected greens were aerated solid tines, rolled and had organics applied.
  • All affected greens were dusted and rubbed in. Fertilizer applied and washed in.
  • Applied chicken manure/fish pellets to the worse 5 greens 1, 4, 6, 7, 10 and washed in.
  • Applied another light dusting on 1,4,6,7,10 greens and rubbed in.
  • These 5 greens are being cut at present with walk behind at 7mm, bring them down over next few weeks to normal height when 100% coverage.
  • Edged green perimeters and cleaned off.
  • Topped up Clubhouse gardens with fresh mulch.
  • Aerated 1,4,6,7,10 greens again to let fresh oxygen into profile and lightly rolled.

 

 

Over next few weeks the team will be renovating bunkers back into play, give them a good rotary hoe to loosen up profile.

Remove all contaminated mulch/soil in flood affected tee gardens, add herbicide and replenish with new mulch in readiness for garden planting.

Weed removal in Fairways, rough lines will be ongoing into Winter when Couch grass goes into Dormancy.

Aerate affected greens fortnightly and light dustings will follow.

 

A big thankyou to the Staff on their efforts, some long hours but effort is showing out on Course now as we open.

And to the Volunteers that have assisted recently with Flood clean up, can’t thank you enough for helping us out and giving up your time.

Bill Reynolds, Neil Kinnish, Mike King, JJ Clark, Terry Clark, Nad Punasamy, Terry McMahon and Doug Shearer
