Hello Golfer,
Welcome to the latest edition of the Mount Compass Golf Course Newsletter!
Superintendent Updates
What a weekend!
We enjoyed perfect weather over the weekend, which allowed the course to dry out and showcase its full potential. A few bunkers remained out of play due to earlier rainfall, but overall course conditions continue to improve.
This week, our team focused on completing broadleaf spraying on the tees and driving range. Some wet weather is forecast over the coming days, which may slow progress slightly, but we will adjust as needed.
We conducted ninja coring on the greens using 3/8” tines. This is a smaller core size compared to standard practices, which helps minimize disruption to play while still delivering the agronomic results we need. Our goal to have all greens cored, cleaned up, top-dressed, and fertilized by mid-to-late week was successful.
Coring updates
• Monday marked the first cut since the renovations. There is excellent growth, and the mower picked up minimal sand.
• A light topdressing was scheduled for Tuesday to help fill the remaining holes. This will be followed by an application of granular fertiliser and gypsum, which will be watered in to support recovery.
• The greens are progressing well and are close to the desired condition. With favourable weather over the next few days, we expect them to be rolling true by the weekend.
• Throughout the rest of the week, our team will focus on mowing and bunker maintenance to ensure the course is in top shape for weekend golfers.
