Question:"As you know we are a small club but with a keen membership. We carry out implicitly your recommendations with regard to end of season renovation. This year the sward developed quite well in the first two months but we now have a very thin sward with only three weeks to go to our first match. As you are aware we do not have water laid on and although there are differences of opinion within the club the committee reckons that the drought is the reason for the condition of the pitch. I would be pleased to hear your comments."
Answer/Response:"We are sorry to learn that the sward is not in as good a condition as usual. There is little doubt that drought is the basic reason for your trouble and, as you will appreciate, we have pointed out in the past that it would be desirable to have watering facilities. Although expensive for a small club we suggest that consideration again be given to finding the money to provide a watering system. Leaflets are enclosed. Can you not make any emergency arrangements to give a good soaking with water now? Once we get some rain further fertilizer to boost growth may help the sward to catch up."
