Course Works Update October 2012

By

Just an update on course works. Hollow coring took place on the week of the 7th of September. I went with a half inch core which resulted in a deeper core. This was followed with sand which, believe it or  not , every  green got three tons so far. I was hoping to do the tees as well but with the weather last week the team  were playing catch up on cutting. We hope to do the tees next week.
The main benefits of hollow coring are
It relives compaction on the greens
It allows air to get into the greens.
Encourages the roots to go further down,
Takes out thatch and black layer in the soil,
The sand helps with the drainage.
It is also a perfect time for us to over seed the greens. All of which are essential for good root and grass growth.
If all goes well you will be glad to hear that we hope, all things been equal, that we will not have to Spring core in March as we usually did.
Regards
Darren Ward
Head Green Keeper.

Slide
Golf at Howth

Founded in 1916 the heath land links style course was designed by the renowned golfer and course architect James Braid, a 5 times winner of “The Open” Golf Championship who can count the design of the prestigious Kings and Queens Courses at Gleneagles amongst his greatest achievements.

James was well known for including dog leg design golf holes in his course designs and the 5th hole in particular is an excellent example of how he blended a great golf hole into the unique Howth Heathers. The exceptional views from the 16th tee are worthy of mention in any golf guide.
