COVID 19 Maintenance Update – Switching

We are working to carry out essential maintenance only for the time being.

Here we see Gary removing the dew from the putting surface (switching).

This is one of the most basic tasks in the industry and as explained previously will assist in keeping the greens free of any disease which would kill grass, adversely affect ball roll.  Most turfgrass diseases require the availability of free moisture on the surface in which to spread, therefore by removing this moisture (dew) we help create conditions which are less conducive to disease outbreak.

We will be keeping all STH updated on maintenance throughout this challenging period and hope you are all keeping safe and well.
