To clarify green usage during the Winter...
We will close the Bottom green from the 1st October until further notice.
The Top green will remain open to the 8th December and will reopen weather permitting on the 16th February. A further update will be issued around that time
The Top green like the Bottom green has suffered greatly during the summer months as a result it is intended to rope off certain areas to give the green a chance to revive in the worst affected areas. Please respect those areas.
As always during the winter period please consider carefully if the green is fit to play, particularly during wet periods and frosty conditions. when further damage can be done.
Our Green keeper will be working during the winter in a effort to restore both greens this will include over seeding, top dressing and fertilizers it is important therefore that particular care is taken with hand hygiene when bowling at all times. Further it may be necessary to close the greens at shot notice for work to be done much of which is weather dependent.
I am hopeful that our greens will be fully refreshed by the spring although that does depend on the weather allowing the grass to grow and thicken in the April/May period something that sadly did not happen this year.
