The week ahead at Hopwood.

We have loads of work planned for the coming week. Our 1st priority is to smooth out the putting surfaces following the 2 weeks of frost. We are going to micro-tine the greens and then verti-cut them to prepare them for top-dressing and rolling. This will be the 1st opportunity we will have had to try out our new Dakota top-dresser. Dressing will now be much quicker with less disruption to play. The greens will also receive an application of compost tea and liquid seaweed to promote growth and turf health.
This work should be completed early on Wednesday in time for the 1st of the club comps.
We also plan to complete the scarifying work on the semi-rough and then start on the tees. The tees will then be over-seeded and top-dressed along with an application of granular fertiliser.
Hopefully, with the warmer weather which is forecast for the week, things should finally start to move forward.
