SPORTS TURF CONTRACTORS
Irene Jones and Geoff Perry
Like many small clubs it has sometimes been a little difficult to recruit enough members to help with the general tidying and upkeep around the club. So, Perranporth have formed a maintenance group that will help out when the green is having its fortnightly makeover by Paul.
The club encourage members to help out with a variety of tasks from fairly heavy work like hedge clipping to lighter jobs like watering and dead heading flowers in the wall baskets. There is something for everyone to help keep the club looking neat and tidy.
Perranporth’s maintenance regimes are fairly typical. The green is cut at a height of 10mm in the winter, 6mm in March and April and 4.5mm during the main summer playing season of May through to September.
To reduce wear, a border is cut along the edge of the green with a height of 12mm in the winter and 6.5mm in the playing season. Mowing is generally carried out three times a week.
Slitting is undertaken once a month during the playing season.
Seeding is carried out with hollow tining in February. Scarifying and topdressing is undertaken in late September or early October with a further scarifying in the spring.
A granular nitrogen feed N.P.K. 6:5:18 is given once a year in early spring. A liquid nitrogen feed is given twice during the winter and monthly during the season. Chemical fungicide treatments are carried out as and when required.
Watering is carried out at around 5.00am, but only during really dry spells. The club have three pop ups that are set to rotate 180 degrees and these water for 20 minutes each, and two pop ups set to rotate 90 degrees

that are left on for 10 minutes each. Each watering uses approximately 1600 gallons.
The green is dew brushed by a member of the club every morning.
Paul and Geoff agree on the level of work required for end of season renovations and implement it as soon as the playing season has finished, usually the end of September. It generally involves scarifying the green in several directions, overseeding and topdressing with a 70:30 rootzone.
There is a great work ethic within the club and their commitment is paying off with a reputation of having one of the best maintained greens in Cornwall.
