I am pleased to announce that the Winter maintenance on the Old course has now been completed (minus the fertilising of greens which will be done next week)! It has been a long 7-day stretch and we've had to endure some awful weather, but we have pulled it off, by taking advantage of the better days and working until dark. Once again the flexibility of the Ferndown Golf Club Greenkeeping staff and their ability to follow orders has shown through. I am very proud to have completed these works, and to a high standard too. Part of the reason the club is so successful in the summer is the work we do in the winter and long may it continue!

Once again the weather hasn't played ball!! Another 15mm last night with a further 12 mm throughout the day has made me scratch my head on several occasions!! This maintenance week so far has been mentally and physically tough, but we will not back down!

I wanted to let you know how things are going and update you on our winter plan (that will take us to Christmas time).
What a month October has been!! Record temperatures have extended our golfing season. This season has been the longest I can ever remember! It does please me to hear the feedback on the golf courses although it has maybe put me a couple of weeks behind in project work. We are very lucky to have a well-drilled, hard-working and flexible team as we remarkably are still mowing grass late in the evenings to keep on top of things. The preparation and presentation of the golf courses always come first in my view and we will do everything we can to make your golf at Ferndown as special as we can.
