And still it rains!!  We just can't seem to get a break and although there hasn't been big totals this past week the persistent showers are more than annoying.  We have got quite a lot of disease pressure across the courses, particularly in the greens with the constant leaf wetness providing the perfect situation for disease to flourish, and flourishing it is.  579mm YTD March 31 for us compared to the airport @ 520mm and if you go north to Windaroo GC they recorded just 286mm!!  So our 252mm for March nearly topped their YTD total. It's certainly lucky that we are considered to be a "dry" course and can take a reasonable amount of rain but this is ridiculous.  Once again the course closure on Tuesday this week was seriously affected with light showers most of the day meaning we couldn't get the planned work done that requires dry conditions.

A lot of what we are doing on course at the moment is planned to get the turf in the best condition possible as we steam towards winter with the daylight hours shortening and temperatures dropping.  All playing surfaces have been fertilised to try and achieve any growth we can to bolster the surfaces.  The continual wet conditions are seeing some damage from the cart traffic in areas so please watch where you drive and avoid the soft slippery areas.

One good news story for the week is one of the "habitat trees" that we left between the two 18's got some new residents this week.
