Sleeper walls and groundworks for the new resin path are complete at The Royal Burgess Now just waiting on the better weather to allow the path guys to get the resin down. The Greenkeepers have done a great job around the edges. Ryan Melling Gary Leonard greenkeeper1982

Various tasks being carried out this week including new roadway, painting of course furniture, machinery servicing, verti-draining fairways & solid tining greens surrounds/approaches 💪🏻 Members of the environmental committee put up more bird & bat boxes as well Ecology @ BIGGA

At last, a generally dry week! Great to get the recently acquired Air2G2 out on the greens to help relieve compaction & improve drainage capabilities. Work on the internal roadway continued, with hopefully just another week or so until completion? Greens given a fresh cut too 👍🏻

We bid farewell to Assistant Greenkeeper Gordon Irving this week, who has retired after 39 years The Royal Burgess On the course, internal roadway works continued and this should see completion by the middle of next week, fairway verti-draining and machinery servicing 👍🏻

This week has seen the completion of phase 1 on an internal roadway through the course. This will take all machinery traffic and help reduce wear and tear, especially during the winter. New putting green has had its first cut, followed by an overseed & fertiliser application 👍🏻

Moving on with work around the new putting green and 1st tee this week. Shrub beds planted, slate added and signage reset as well. On the course we mowed greens, followed by a nutritional spray application. New putting green was mown at 7mm and given a spray too 👍🏻

Well it’s taken a while to get a few dry days together, but the resin is going down The Royal Burgess and it is looking incredible. Definitely worth the wait. Ryan Melling Gary Leonard greenkeeper1982

Lots of jobs being undertaken this week. Origin Amenity Solutions Bluewater being added to the pond, new path around the 18th green/1st tee is now almost completed and PG is being mowed at 5mm. Lots of mowing going on + greens, tees & surrounds sprayed with a nutritional/wetting agent mix

Lots of mowing this week to get on top of the surge in growth at the minute. Tees & approaches/surrounds were sprayed with a mix of PGR, chelated iron, selective herbicide & wetting agent. Bunker maintenance continues and even managed a couple of pedestrian cuts on the greens 👍🏻

Lots of overseeding this week throughout the course using our new Vredo Dodewaard B.V. overseeder & Barenbrug UK seed. Concentrating on winter traffic damage and general wear & tear areas. Will be aiming to carry this work out again in mid and late summer also 👍🏻🌱
