The greens will be cored and sanded on Tuesday 16th September 2014. This process is a necessary part of looking after the greens and there are three main reasons it must be completed:
Once again it will be a full on day requiring extra hands to assist in the ensuring as even a covering of sand as possible and we would like to thank the army of volunteers that come out each year to help the green staff complete this job.
- Removal of thatch. This helps to stop the greens from becoming soft and spongy.
- Levelling the green. Coring and sanding helps to remove holes and damage that has appeared on the greens throughout the year.
- Aerating the green. This is vitally important as without doing this the greens will compact due to constant traffic, causing them to harden and potentially die.
