“We overseed greens and


tees predominantly using a Toro pedestrian ProCore and overseed larger areas using a Charterhouse disc seeder. Currently, we use a mix containing varieties of slender creeping and Chewings red fescues, which helps us to increase shoot density and disease tolerance in our playing surfaces. We are also looking closely at a new fine-leafed ryegrass which will help to improve the wear tolerance and aesthetics of some of our grass pathways and winter tees.” “Work is rotated among the


staff so that there is some variation but, at the same time, using everyone’s strengths.” Graeme takes nutrient


analysis one or two times per year and problem areas may be percolation tested and particle


size analysed. Ongoing work includes the removal of Sea Buckthorn from 4,000m2
