Coring green in Melbourne

[TS]

When does most of the Melbourne sandbelt courses core their green? I am planning a trip to visit few of the Melbourne courses and try to work out if March or April is a better time.

I had the unfortune experience of visiting Perth in Sep this year when most courses had cored their green.

August/September I don’t know of any that now core autumn as well, with most just going with solid mini tines or an air2 with a dust that really doesn’t impact play at all.

KH did theirs just after Xmas. They are the last I am told. They would normally go earlier but they had the Aus Open. I don’t know if the Pure Distinction courses (Vic and PKCC) actually core their greens. I would suggest a quick email to the clubs u intend visiting for a complete answer!

Am going to KH in March. The guy that is looking after us said they have no intention to core in March. (But always puts it in the small writing - He wouldn't be told if they did a core that time of year anyway, but its not their normal time.)

Thanks guys. I am hoping to play KH in March as well
