GREEN REFURBISHMENT – OCTOBER 2020

“Thatch” approx. 20 mm thick had built up over time, acting as a water barrier, causing the grass roots to rot and the soil below to turn to dust. Employing the same contractor as Horley BC, with the Green Team doing significant essential preparation work and helping on the day, the illustrated tasks were carried out on 6th October to refurbish the green.

Clearing the arisings
Three stages in view

Spreading the sand by hand (machine out of action)
