September 2016 Sports Pitch Maintenance Diaries

Sports covered are bowls, cricket, rugby, football, golf and tennis

We all know that our work schedules are dictated by the weather and, surprisingly, the forecast for September is looking pretty good; temperatures in mid to high teens for all areas.

This is an important month for many groundsmen and greenkeepers, with end of season renovations for some and winter preparations for others. Work done in this period is critical to all natural grass sports.

As ever, our diaries will provide you with general advice and guidance on the sort of work you should be contemplating at this time of the year.

The advice is not set in stone; each facility and surface is different, so the experienced groundsman or greenkeeper will take on board whatever is relevant to them. For those who are less experienced, the diaries should be a useful guide for what should be done this month.

If you need any more specific advice or information, why not check out our Forum.
