An application of the selective graminicide Rescue has
been made to all greens to control the spread of Ryegrass and Yorkshire Fog
grasses. These are wholly inappropriate putting green grass types that we have
been treating now for a number of years. Thankfully we have far less of these
grass species now so the effects of the spray application will be less
noticeable than in previous years. We may for a period have some thin areas of
turf but the greens will be seeded and top-dressed repeatedly over the next two
months to ensure the broadleaved grasses are replaced with finer fescue grass.
Four interseeding operations are planned. The first will start
after the Dolphin Trophy on Monday 25th August. Sanding of greens
will take place thereafter to ensure surface levels are returned as quickly as
possible.
