either hollow tine or solid tine, depending on needs, followed by a topdressing of between 100-150 tonnes of Leighton Buzzard sand. We’ll then apply a further two sand dressings (15-20 tonnes per time) during the winter months. The net result should be drier, firmer and smoother greens. Spring renovations will be kept to a lighter programme of scarification, aeration and topdressing.” With the staff reduced to just two, David is looking at ways of involving the members to undertake some jobs out on the course, perhaps mowing some of the grass areas on their golfing range and around the clubhouse, but always keeping in mind the health and safety aspects of what they can
and cannot do. Like many clubs, the last couple of years have been quite tough in regard to the weather; the recent cold wintry weather, particularly the heavy snow, resulted in the course being closed for a few weeks, so the warmer spring weather was much appreciated by both the greenkeeping staff and the club’s 400 members. It is a very popular course in the summer, with many visiting societies keen to enjoy the challenge of playing golf on one of the most natural courses in the UK, whilst also enjoying those panoramic views - weather permitting, of course!
