Turfing

Today we lifted the turf from the 21st tee so it will be ready for the excavator to begin levelling the subsoil next week.

The best of the turf was used at the 13th to renovate an area of worn, thin turf by the front bunker

Today we also raked the bunkers, moved the holes, switched the greens and started hand cutting the hedge around the 19th tee.
