Members’ Guests – Monday 30 October – Sunday 19 November 2023

  • Member guests are not permitted to play in competition times

The Pines Golf Course Renovation Program

The Pines greens have established well since being done two years ago and this year’s renovation program will be amended accordingly. Some solid thatch accumulation has occurred over the past 12 months and will need to be removed from the greens to help prevent disease this upcoming summer. As for the other surfaces (tees, fairways and aprons), the same process as last year will apply.

Greens

  • Scarified at -3mm in two directions (matt and thatch removal)
  • Verti-Cut at -1mm in two directions (matt and thatch removal)
  • Aeration with 10mm hollow tines (provides a corridor for oxygen in the root zone)
  • Soil amendments applied (helps to correct any shortfalls in the greens soil profile as per soil tests)
  • Heavily top dressed with amended sand (helps to even out any imperfections with the playing surface)
  • Fertilised with Turf Starter at 3kg/100m2. This helps with turf recovery and vigour

The expected recovery time is 4 – 6 weeks.

Tees

  • Scarified at -20mm in two directions (matt and thatch removal)
  • Aeration with 12mm hollow tines (provides a corridor for oxygen in the root zone and removes thatch)
  • Heavily top dressed with amended sand (helps to even out any imperfections with the playing surface)
  • Fertilised with Turf Starter at 3kg/100m2. This helps with turf recovery and vigour

The expected recovery time is 4 – 6 weeks.

Fairways

  • Scarified at -10mm in two directions (matt and thatch removal)
  • Aeration with 12mm hollow tines (provides a corridor for oxygen in the root zone and removes thatch)
  • Top dressed with amended sand at 5-7mm (helps to even out any imperfections with the playing surface)
  • Fertilised with Turf Starter at 3kg/100m2. This helps with turf recovery and vigour

The expected recovery time is 4 – 6 weeks.
