First cutting line

It is important to get the first cutting line as straight as possible. This will aid as a guide to cut the rest of the green.

Making the first line of cut at the centre of the green ensures that any deviation in angle is minimised. This is because the distance from the  first line is reduced by dividing the green in half. Arguably the further away one cuts from the first line, the more the angle of cut will deviate from the first line.

Boom sprayer foam

Here you can see the lines created by the boom sprayer to assist with optimum application.

The foam shows where the sprayer has or has not been.

Halfway house garden

Today I was tasked to tidy up the garden around the halfway house.

It still needs some work, but I feel that I did make some progress.

Hopefully I will be allowed to plant a few of the new heather plants in the gaps of the flower bed.

Beetle head

Found this alongside one of the greens today.  Not sure if it was living here or if a bird dropped it.

I would like to see a live one on the course.

Excess top dressing

The greens mowers are still picking up a fair bit of the top dressing
