hill. The course has matured well over the years and is well tended. The greens are relatively small push-ups cut into the side of the hill. Overall length is 5153 yards off our medal tees, with a par of 68.
Holes 1,2,3,4 and 9 are on the ‘flat’ part of the course, whereas 5, 6, 7 and 8 are on the hill itself. Our bottom four holes are used a lot during junior fun days and tuition days.
Who sets the greenkeeping budget?
We are a small club, run by a committee of volunteers. I was fortunate enough to be
asked to act as greens convenor, so this allows me to present the committee with a budget, after consultation with my small sub-committee group. I usually submit a budget for the full calendar year to include machinery purchases and requirements for the course.
How would you describe the soil profile?
The soil type varies across the course. At the top, there tends to be less soil and more stony material (steep areas). At the bottom of the course there is a lot more soil content.
TriCure AD
”
Over the years the soil has moved, due to gravity, and we have now found that there is more organic content at the lowest part of the course. Surface run-off also causes the soil movement. In some parts of the course, the shaded areas around the wooded area (Ceres Woods) can remain wet for some time, especially through the winter months. A lack of sunlight and daylight can cause this, and they can also remain frozen for some time during winter. The soil is a quite heavy clay in some areas.
