Greens condition update from Head Greenkeeper
Spring finally arrived at Seaham Golf Club on May 18th this year. I keep a log in my yearly work diary and the middle of May is consistent with previous years for soil temperatures to finally reach and maintain the 6 degrees Celsius or above required for consistent grass growth and recovery. Unfortunately, like many courses at the back end of last year, we were caught out with a vicious and resilient strain of Fusarium Patch disease, which as the sward wasn’t actively growing, left scars. Up until May 18th, the cold night time temperatures put the brakes on growth and recovery. Ultimately, we cannot force growth until night time temperatures rise consistently. Therefore, patience and member communication is key and the reason I write this update. This is my nineteenth year as Head Greenkeeper at Seaham Golf Club and the greens have been top quality in all of those years, so let me assure you, this season will be no different. Growth rates have increased rapidly over the past two weeks and the quality of the putting surfaces are improving every day.
David Sharkey, Head Greenkeeper.
David offers monthly updates to the Greens Committee around all aspects of the course and its maintenance. Minutes of these meetings are available in the Greens Minutes folder outside of the Secretaries office in the clubhouse should anyone wish to keep abreast of all things green keeping.
