A break in the wet weather gave us chance to get a dressing of sand on the greens, which was about 2 weeks overdue. We were unable to get the dressing on due to the wet weather. This morning I groomed the greens, Rob cut the surrounds then Scott and Adam followed with the top dresser, dressing the greens with around 1 tonne sand per green.

Will followed with the drag mat when the dressing had dried. This afternoon when the dew had burnt off we got a dry cut on the fairways and tees, with the amount of growth given the high temperatures and moisture, the dry cut certainly gives a quality finish which gives the course good definition once more.

Today was Joe Marucci's last day raking bunkers for us during the summer holidays. I would like to thank him for all the effort put in over the last 6 weeks, given the amount of extra work this year has brought for the greenstaff, we have certainly appreciated his help.
