With days becoming warmer and nights milder, soil temperatures are on the rise resulting in slightly increased growth throughout all of the golf course and associated gardens.

Application of fertilsers to fairways, greens and tees will aid spring growth and assist in maintaining healthy turf leading into summer. Light dustings of sand on greens will assist in providing a good putting surface.

Some gardens have been replanted and mulched around greens and tees. This work will be ongoing and continue around our usual maintenance schedule.

Many thanks to golfers who utilise the sand buckets provided for use in divot repair. Studies have shown that turf will repair 9 times faster when divots are filled.

We hope that all golfers enjoy their game and the beautiful sunny spring days at The Colonial.
