The green is similar to the <no link text>USGA green but no soil is added to the sand. This means the green has a lower nutrient holding capacity and consequently requires more fertiliser applied more frequently over the season. In excess of 250 units of N are applied over the growing season. Low levels are applied in September to avoid the soft grass growth that allows Fusarium disease (Michrochodium nivale) to attack the sward. A feature of this green are the deeep pot bunkers which retain sand in windy seaside conditions as well as punishing golfers.
