Out with the old, in with the new! Fresh tines installed on the SISIS Maxi Slitter, essential for shattering years of compaction, aiding fairway drainage, and encouraging deep root growth 🌱💧

OM: 5 greens now have a sample size of 4 in Year 3 of sampling, showing decent gains across a few of them. The 15th saw a slight increase this year, so needs to be monitored. The 4th was measured for the first time in 2026 and dropped nicely. Still no coring to date. ⛳️

Greens and tees have been overseeded this week with Forefront and A5 respectively. The studded roller on the Variseeder is also helping to aid water penetration. ⛳️🌱

Encouraging signs on the greens – Air2G2 going through the deeper layers, breaking up compaction and promoting greater root depth . 💪

Just 0.5mm of rainfall for the month of July... All we can do is control the controllables, but the greens are recovering well after maintenance and irrigation issues. Let’s see what August brings! ⛳️
