4th Tee Makeover

The 4^th tee has undergone a makeover during the last week or so. Following the removal of all the low growing scrub surrounding the tee which will increase the available air/light component which is essential to sustainable grass growth we have also installed a grid drainage system, levelled and re-turfed the tee.

 

The construction and position of the 4^th tee offers multiple challenges in the ongoing retention of grass cover particularly during wet and wintery weather, with the desire to maintain as much coverage as possible throughout the year for both playability and aesthetic purposes we have also taken the decision to install an artificial teeing surface to be used when weather conditions dictate.

 

 

This is also in part to the lack of available teeing ground when the main tee is being rested due to the small size of our forward tee on the 4^th.

 

This artificial tee instillation will be wrapped up over the weekend and will be in play as soon as possible.

 

Following the turfing of the main tee we will improve the area further next week and have this main tee back in play in early spring.

Heather Regeneration on the 8th Hole

 Following the use of the textured fescue turf for some of our bunker construction we have striped the rest of the area on the 8th carry to promote new heather growth within the carry.

And this is what we hope will follow!

Course Update

Hello all and welcome to my new blog for the Camberley Heath Golf Club Greenstaff Department.


For almost five years now I have been collecting data and photos of the course and works we have undertaken to see how the course develops over time. I have also used the opportunity to record important events. Its time I put all the information I have to good use, for anyone who wishes to see.




These photos, videos and pieces of data will, over time be uploaded to the blog as well as new information in the form of course updates, to notify members of the weekly on-goings and future work plans on the course as well as finished projects for those members who visit the course less frequently.




The content of the blog so far is fairly limited, I hope to be able to build the historical content over a short amount of time as well as regular updates of current activities. Please bear with me whilst I sift through the many thousands of photos I have for the interesting bits!






Best Regards,


Nick Paris,
Course Manager.
