Dear Fana Members / Guests 

After originally forecast to rain most of this week, in fact we have experienced beautiful dry weather with clear blue sky, and stunning sunrises and sunsets, what a wonderful week to enter into October. And enter into October we have! The golf course is in fantastic condition, the greens are firm and running well, the fairways are pure, the roughs are maintained and clean, it is a perfect golfing conditions moving slowly to the end of the season.

Aeration on approaches this week was complete using 19mm solid tines, down to 75mm, and with sand dressed to the amount of 12 - 15 tonnes.

This week the Maintenance Team began to install the new hybrid grass system on teeing surfaces. This system is designed to improve playing surfaces by reducing wear and tear. These tees will be ready for early season next year. You will see this hybrid grass installed on Tees 16 - 51 and 4 - 48 during the next two weeks. 

Next week aeration on tees will be undertaken following the same process as the approaches. Fairways will be spiked and topdressed, and walk off areas from greens will also be heavily topdressed. 

Traffic management is vitally important for the next three weeks. 

Happy golfing.
