**COURSE REPORT **
With another week of no rain, we continue to keep the course looking tidy and monitor moisture levels on the greens watering when required. The greens have benefited from this and are performing well which is a credit to the work being carried out. Unfortunately, the rest of the course is suffering with the majority now burned off and no sign of recovery this year. The knock-on effect from this will continue into next year and it will be only then we will be able to assess any long term effects. We are monitoring the situation and making plans to help for future weather extremities to help us. This has been an extraordinary year , to date, a total of 220mm of rain in 2025. Not what I wanted for my first full year at Penn.
We have continued with more path work on the 7th and 8th tees this week and hope to complete this in the coming weeks. Bunkers have been raked daily, holes have been moved and tees divoted each day with bins emptied and ball washers topped up. The collars around the greens have been cut and watered, more trees have been trimmed to allow better access for mowers, removing any low hanging branches. Irrigation repairs have been ongoing this week with faulty green sprinklers being replaced and adjustments made to ensure the watering system is working correctly. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to utilise the turf iron this week as it has broken down again. More overseeding has been done on bare areas on the greens.
I would like to thank everyone who has asked me how my holiday was. I had a great break and would like to thank Ben and the team for keeping the course in great condition with their hard work whilst short staffed.
George this week has been volunteering at the Belfry, each morning, helping with tournament support preparing the course for the British Masters. He has thoroughly enjoyed, gaining valuable experience which will benefit both himself and Penn Golf Club.
Please remember to repair your pitch marks, rake bunkers after play and pick up those broken tee pegs to help us keep the course tidy.
Enjoy your weekend.
Dave.
