Leaves

Bloody predictive text, not sure how many ducks I’ve sent either (and yes I meant ducks )

Pixies and elves clear them every night…….

Links course so no real problem with trees and the few we do have are coniferous

We have a tractor mounted leaf blower to blow them off the fairway, then use a Trilo leaf-sweeper (the hoover/hopper combo that others have mentioned) to collect them. Trouble is, the ground is currectly too wet & too soft to get the machinery onto the fairways (sadly the same applies to mowers) so we're stuck with greens-staff just using handheld blowers on the greens.

our course is mega tree lined , every hole ! its lovely apart from this time of the year and with the mixture of very wet weather so machinery cant get out onto the course and huge leaf fall, its the worst few weeks of the year . we've got a comp on saturday which is going to be a slow round, as the ball will be either underground plugged, under a leaf, or underground under a leaf.

Finally got to play yesterday after the course had been closed for over 2 weeks. Had they cleared the leave, heck no, it's been too wet to get the equipment out.

The leaves and wet ground are certainly causing problems. Lost and plugged balls contributing to a 5 hour round. The only consolation is that we are using mats on the whole course (bunkers and greens excluded)

Normally ours are collected, but it’s been too wet to get the machine out on the course. So they’re still out there waiting for my ball.

The ground staff had managed to blow ours into piles this week inside the copses but we’ve had high winds and now there are deep covered spots on parts of the holes.
