Drill n Fill operation in progress at Downshire's Golf Course’s attractive course near Bracknell.
Downshire Golf complex on the edge of Bracknell, Berks, has 19 pop up greens built on clay 40 years ago and in common with many in these times of record-breaking rainfall, was struggling with flooding.
“We were at best a 10 month of the year golf course,” says general manager, Simon Cottee. “The compaction and drainage issues on these old greens meant they were like a sponge and the consistently wet, mild autumn and winters compounded the threat of disease” The first two inches of Downshire’s greens soil profile was unable to drain properly, resulting in a shallow and thatchy root base and poor grass growth.
