Top Dressing.

We managed to get the greens dressed today despite a hard frost. The greens were scarified and then we used our new spin type Dakota top dresser. This machine gives us the capability to use much less sand and also complete the work far quicker than before. Our old belt type dresser used to take over 4 hours to dress 18 greens, which had a major impact on play. The new machine can dress the greens in under 2 hours!




The dressing was then brushed in and a granular fertiliser was applied. The weather is due to change for the weekend, and this should further help the greens recovery. Fingers crossed for no more frosts!
