The Greens  

I have received quite a bit of feedback about the appearance of the greens of late so I have asked Jason to comment:

Omanu greens are made up of 2 different species of grass being Browntop and Poa annua. At this time of year the Browntop is in optimum condition creating strong growth and good colour. The Poa is generally under stress which forces it to seed prolifically and not grow as much. This results in a mottled appearance and bumpy greens which are more pronounced in the afternoon

Amplifying the mottled appearance this year is the exceptional seed strike that occurred at our last coring resulting in lots of fresh growth from the core holes.

To alleviate these conditions we utilise a number of strategies including verticutting, growth regulators, sanding and regular applications of foliar fertiliser which all help to minimise any impact on the playability of the greens.
