Course Maint. Coring Etc. Where & When

[Grunt]

Hi All
Seeing Jim's post in the Bankstown Open Day thread got me thinking. As it is coming up to the period of the year where coring,sanding & the like of greens are going to happen. Why don't we get together and list what is happening where and when so we all know what to expect when we go to a course at this time of year.

I can start it off and say New Brighton was done last week. It had been cored and the sand was on the greens last Thursday. I will add any other courses that I find out about.

Course - Date of Green Maintenance.

• New Brighton - 23rd August

Lakelands Golf Club

Tees and rough completed a few month ago.

Greens and fairways commence Sunday PM of the 26th November. We close the course for two days and reopen with a $39.00 rate (including cart) until the 15th December.

The rate then goes up to 2 for $99.00 until December 24th.

• Camden Valley
• Wallacia

Carnarvon cored and sanded 2 1/2 weeks ago. Should be good for championships in 2 weeks.

Asquith - Solid Coring

2nd and 3rd of April

[Grunt]

Campbelltown was done the week before last.
Mac Grange is going to have a light aeration done in the next week or so. Heard it was a roller with spikes rolled over the greens and no sand added.

[McCoy]

Liverpool was done last week.

Eastlake GC - course closed the afternoon of Sunday 6th May and all day Monday 7th May for coring.

13th hole is currently out of play due to a new path being constructed and the green surrounds being slightly renovated, this should be back in play within a week or two.

Course still plays as a full length 18 hole track though as we have 21 holes on the course.

Eastlake GC UPDATE
Next week we will be applying our slow release fertiliser for spring renovations which are occurring on September 9,10 and 11 starting at 2pm on the Sunday. We will be closed for the 2 days of 10th and 11th as with last spring renovation to undertake the scarifying, coring, topdressing and other additions to all greens. We are closed for 2 days due to this being the major renovation of the year and unlike the autumn renovations we will be coring and scarifying the new bent grass greens (8,9,19,Nursery).

Work has begun on the back of the Par 5 4th to clear the way for construction of the bridge to begin later this year.

Thanks for bumping this topic again Mike.

It is the season again in Sydney.

Camden Valley is starting its coring in two weeks time, doing one nine per week starting 5 September until after the 19th.

I'm not hitting the ball well, so I might just take a month off this time, and see if the break helps.

Played New Brighton yesterday Greens were cored 2 weeks ago and are coming back, look to be another 2-3 weeks off being back to normal.
Any other places been done or having work done soon

I think Ashlar is being done in the next few weeks. Mac Grange is being done 1st week in October.

[Chopper]

Beverley Park was done 2 weeks ago also.

I thought the greens at New Brighton were pretty good yesterday Grunt just a little slow. Anyway you shouldn't be complaining, you won the 2ball and had the best individual score. Hcp slashing coming up.

I left at least 8 putts online and just short. Could have been 40 points.

[Grunt]
