VERTIDRAINING GREENS

We plan to commence vertidraining of the greens on Monday 14th December. Weather permitting, it should take around 6 days to complete the work over the 2 courses. We carry out this operation every year in order to relieve the compaction caused by the mowers, turf irons and golfing traffic.
  With the weather we have seen recently a few of the greens have also started to flood, with the water taking time to drain away during spells of heavy rain.  Vertidraining will help alleviate this problem and will result in firmer healthier greens.
 We will roll the greens afterwards to help smooth out the surface and will endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum.
