Chipstead Golf Club

So the build up to club championships begins! Starting the morning with a very light single pass verti cut, cut and blow this morning. The team also making a great start at edging and tidying the bunkers. 👌

Beautiful morning with the artisans finishing the fairway divotting and the greens getting a trim. All selective herbicide spraying has been completed, bunkers have been tidied and a big chunk of the grass factory debris has been cleared 😁

Tees and aprons have had their heights lowered, also a light dressing for the greens/tees/aprons today. Fairway heights come down tomorrow.....everything is starting to move and fill in 👌🏼⛳️

Last chance to vote on this. It’s a close call! Please retweet and see which of the Greenkeepers takes photographer of the year 😆

COURSE OPEN Holes 3-6 closed No buggies, carry if you can. Bit of a frost out there today (at last) 🥶

We have the photo entries! @JackPercival99 and @philcolephoto have put theirs in. Need people to pick the best one (not saying who’s is who’s) by NYE. Winner will get a prize.

Merry Christmas to all of our members, rest of the @Chipsteadgolf team and visitors both past and future. Have a great day and see you on Sunday 🏌️⛳️🎄

Course OPEN 7mm in the pot, but the wind and rest heater has helped the course

COURSE CLOSED Following 4 days of rain and last nights heavy downpour it is necessary to protect the course so it remains playable for the rest of the week.

Hedges and boundaries done by Chidwell. They did the rotavating on 14 too. The practice ground and 13th tree lines have been pruned along with hedges around the 14th tee and 11th green. Ditch on 13 will be cleared soon. Hedges are usually done by us, but 2 birds - 1 stone 🤷🏻‍♂️

Getting plenty of work done around the @BIGGALtd national conference. Greens blown and sprayed, fairways cut and plenty of leaves collected on the course. 4 hours of education thrown into the mix makes it a productive day 👌🏼⛳️🤓

Little dew brush for the greens this morning. Jacob putting some stripes in because spinning round in circles is boring 😁

Seeded, fed, rolled and watered Now we wait 🌱

Steaming straight into some improvements. No point wasting any time. 14th was root pruned earlier in the week, now it’s time to rotavate the rough before an overseed and feed.

@philcolephoto & @JackPercival99 fancy themselves as golf course photographers... Who are we to decide and as there’s a lockdown coming....let’s find out! You both have 4 weeks to provide us with your best photo which we will poll through various sources. Prize for the winner

With the confirmation of lockdown we want to let all members and visitors know that the greenstaff are being kept on to work through. We will use this time to do aeration and some winter projects and promise the course will be ready for your return #golf #staysafe #HandsFaceSpace

First heavy frost of the season and @AdvanceGrass Aquarapido has done its job. Sprayed last Monday, today was second cut since. Little bit of turf hardener and pgr being applied this morning as we put them to bed for 4 weeks 😢
