Dear Members,
As part of the couch encroachment program, a chemical has been applied to areas on greens 10,11 and 17. Over the next week, the surrounds of these greens will die off and the bent grass will then rejuvenate over the coming months. It should have no effect on how the greens play, only aesthetics.
You may have noted this taking place on the practice green over the last month and the results have been encouraging, with the next application being three greens on course.
This is planned works and if the success of this process continues, it will relieve the need to undertake construction works to replace grasses, which has a greater impact back to play.
