Goff and his team keep a keen eye on the dreadful winter weather, and have seized the first opportunity in weeks to get out and undertake the much needed work required to keep our green in tip tip shape. As the weather starts to improve the Green Team get busier.

Winter green maintenance focuses on protecting the turf from disease and compaction by brushing off dew and worm casts, maintaining a cutting height of 8-10mm, and spiking 3–4 times to aid drainage. Key actions include keeping the surface free of debris, managing moss with iron, and applying covers to protect from heavy frost.
