Thatch Management

It's fair to say that when you talk about thatch, many people say that you need to go deeper and deeper into the soil to remove it. Andy Walker, Field Support Manager for SISIS says that the most frequent question he is asked is how deep does the machine go? In his opinion, that is not the correct way to control thatch and here are some commonly asked questions he's asked to answer.

Maintenance Calendar

January Maintenance

During the past month, virtually all normal routines and planned programmes were effectively 'kicked into touch' due to the extreme weather conditions which prevailed. December 2010 was the coldest for over 100 years, with sub-zero temperatures and snow cover lasting for over 3 weeks.

February Maintenance

After the prolonged snow cover and severe frost of December, January was a much quieter month with near average temperatures and rainfall for most, albeit lacking in sunshine. Frosted mornings were more in evidence during the second half of the month, which was cold and dry, and it gave everyone the opportunity to catch-up on winter routines such as aeration that were unable to be carried out previously.

March Maintenance

Overview:- with February proving to be a largely non-eventful month in terms of rainfall (a little above average) and temperature, both play and work throughout the month was continuous: a far cry from the end of 2010 when most of the UK was covered in ice and snow.

April Maintenance

So, how has this affected both maintenance and playability? For the latter, it has been ideal, save for a few early frosts during the first half of the month. In fact, since the start of the year, there has been next to no snow and only modest levels of rain during the first two months. This has resulted in the majority of clubs reporting good business; and a much welcome improvement over the start of the two previous years.

May Maintenance

Exceptionally dry conditions continued throughout April, with the majority of the UK receiving next to no rainfall of any significant amount. This, following a dry March has posed many challenges to turf managers on areas of the course where there is no irrigation cover.

June Maintenance

With cooler temperatures and varying amounts of rain in May, albeit largely in the north and west of the UK, there was at least some respite from the continued dry conditions. For many Course Managers in the drier areas, the early part of this season continues to be a challenge, with little respite from daily watering and ensuring that irrigation coverage is effective.

July Maintenance

Frequent wet and often cool days gave irrigation systems a respite and helped to conserve dwindling supplies of water for some, especially with drought orders now in place for much of eastern England. With soil moisture levels being replenished, at least for the time being, growth has benefitted and, by the end of the month, courses were green once again, less stressed and previously seeded areas on the move.

August Maintenance

July proved to be a month of two halves for much of the UK, with the first two weeks being a continuation of cool unsettled weather and with varying amounts of rainfall. Although the total rainfall for July was about average, very little fell during the last two weeks, ironically just as the Open Championship at Sandwich came to an end.

September Maintenance

As a rule, September provides warmer temperatures in the south of the UK, with cooler and wetter conditions in the north. Generally, as the warm temperatures will allow for strong grass growth it is crucial to keep on top of this.

October Maintenance

Overview :- After a stormy start to September, much of the month was a typical mix of sun, cloud and rain before ending in a heat wave and record temperatures for many in the south and east. From a revenue perspective, this meant that golf courses were particularly busy towards the end of the month when roundage is usually starting to decline.

December Maintenance

Overnight frosts were down to just a handful and the month ended on a mild, albeit stormy end compared to the late snowfall last year. Dampness, fog and a lack of sunshine were much in evidence, resulting in disease pressure being high, along with increased worm activity. The application of fungicides and other disease control measures were at the fore for many turf managers, as it proved a challenge to keep disease at bay.

November Maintenance

The diversity in weather conditions, and in particular rainfall, continued throughout October with parts of western UK recording more rain in one day than many parts in the south and east for the whole of the month. This trend in a north/south and east/west divide has been a feature throughout 2011 and, as such, turf managers have had to adapt work programmes accordingly.
