Bushwillow is closed for three weeks due to a pythium infection of its bent grass greens which rendered the course unputtable. The reason given for the greens being vulnerable to disease is poor maintenance practices. All 18 greens have been verticut this week. That will be followed by a machine gradening process which removes thatch build up. Deep cut grooves will be filled with sand, and then overseeding will commence with an expected germination period of 14 days. Full recovery of the greens is expected within 6 to 8 weeks. The closure is an inconvenience for members, and the Randpark club championships have had to be postponed.
