Bobble

The erratic weather continues to stunt persistent growth and the immediate outlook isn't very bright. The pictures below illustrate the different growth rates by different species of grasses, the picture was taken on the 17th green today (23rd May) you can clearly see the different grasses by the texture of the leafs, the one showing the courser leafs is the Rye grass and the finer leafs are the Poa Annua (meadow grass) these two pictures are very clearly showing the problem of bobbley greens. The Rye photo shows grasses between 3-4 mm which can be expected as I have set the mower to 3.8mm the other photo shows the problem of meadow grass at below 2mm!!! many of the grasses haven't even been touched by the mower despite cutting 7 days a week! the good news is we have a good coverage of grass on the greens and I dont think we will be discussing this for to much longer (hopefully)
