The club buy all their machinery outright. The equipment is ‘rotated down’. For example, a new greens mower will be used for five years on the greens and then, for a further five, on approaches and collars, before seeing its days out as a greens roller fitted with vibrating rollers.
Last year the club invested in new machinery storage sheds and a new recycled wash down facility. Having these facilities helps keep the machinery in top condition. Greens are mown at 4mm in the summer and between 6/7mm in the winter using Toro Triples. They are cut daily throughout the growing season and up to three times a week at other times of the year. Tees are mown two to three times a week and are
maintained at a height of 8mm throughout the year. In March
the tees are hollow cored with the cores dragmatted back into the surface. They receive two applications of 8:0:0 NPK feed between March and July. Fairways are cut twice weekly at a height between 11-18mm depending on requirements and time of the year. The cut rough consists of a 3-
6 metre band of grassland separating the semi rough from the deep/ecological rough This transitional grassland generally receives little management other than cutting to maintain the sward height between 75- 100mm.
The combination of the wet weather patterns since 2000, and the regular cutting regimes of these rough areas, has led to a general thickening of the grassland rough and this, in turn, has led to a significant increase in the time it takes to play a round of golf. Roger and John say that, to counteract this, some clubs have reduced the amount of grassland rough being
