Golf 9th tee
reason we run the electric triplex around the perimeter holes each morning. We roll greens on average three times a week, but may increase that this year and skip some mowing to ease stress on the turf and save on manpower. Tees and approaches are mown with a
Toro 3250 on an every other day cycle at a summer height of 9.5mm and fertilised along with the fairway applications. Fairways are mown every day at 11mm, mostly nine a day and the mow lines are alternated throughout the growing season. This year, we expanded our wetting agent programme to include fairways and approaches and the results
have been very impressive. Using Revolution has reduced our water bill by 20-30%. As we buy our water from the city mains, this savings will almost pay for the cost of the wetting agent.
Maintenance and Staff levels
The majority of the staff at Seymour are employed on a seasonal basis, approximately from the middle of April to the end of October. On a typical day in the summer we would have between fifteen and twenty staff on the property. We have a core crew of six to eight that work Monday to Friday.

Jim’s assistant, Derek Krahn has been here since 2003, and Dave McIntyre, Equipment Manager, has been here since 2004, moving from the main Toro distributor here in British Columbia, Oak Creek.
