The only exception to this is bunker raking, as we go out as a four to do them three times a week, I’ve tried calling this a team building exercise, but they’re having none of it
Bunker raking is considered ‘team building’ by at least one of the team
are doing it. I have never done a course walk, but would be happy to do so if anyone showed an interest in one.” “All maintenance routines on the course
are planned around competitions, as we have a very busy schedule. I know what I want to do at certain times of the year, but we don’t have any fixed dates for any of it. We did consider having a ‘maintenance week’ at the start and end of the year, but I
knew that I would be pinned down to those times, regardless of weather. So I now check the fixture list and plan around that. Flexibility is absolutely essential!” “We are very fortunate that every Tuesday is quiet, so we try and do any disruptive work then. As we only have 7000m2
of
greens, anything we do can be normally done in a day and, with good brushes and rollers, the greens are all back in play
immediately after we have finished.” “We also have very little in the way of
thatch on the greens, so we do not hollow core or heavily scarify them. We do solid tine and dress quite often though. We aim for around 120 tonnes of sand dressing a year, and we solid tine, using different tines, monthly through the year. We also sarrel roll when we feel the need, and we slit tine the whole course through the winter periods.”
