On behalf of the groundstaff I'd like to wish all members and fellow staff at Gosnells Golf Club a very merry christmas and on a personal note I'd like to thank everyone for making me feel really welcome and part of the team.
I'm really happy with the way the fairways are responding to the renovations and extra cutting.I feel the ball is already rolling a little further and it must be making it an easier walk around the course. The next round of renovations are due to start in the first full working week of the new year.
You will all notice during your next round of golf that the right hand side of the the 10th hole(on top of the hill) has been topdressed quite heavy, this has been done to help level out he area and give the existing couch and kikuyu something to grow into. I anticipate this area will be GUR for the next few weeks and I ask if everyone could avoid walking through this area if possible.
In the new year you will see us install some new irrigation stations in the rough to help us create some greater definition of the fairways and better tackle the parramatta grass. This work will be carried out between February and June.
As you can see from the photo we've started doing some trails on different ways to tackle the parramatta grass. Lookout for the results around the 7th tee.
Stay Safe
Mike
