The snow that was forecast arrived yesterday, we had a light covering in the morning that closed the course. Overnight and today we had further snow flurries that has laid down another couple of centimetres, with the forecast for the next 7 days looking like it is going to stay cold with more snow showers on the way it doesn't look like we will see any golf played this week. It doesn't mean the green staff have time to rest, we have a schedule of work to stick to, so where jobs can continue they do. Given the freezing conditions one of our higher priority tasks is to ensure the clubhouse car park is kept clear, we salt it most days clearing snow only when necessary. Over the last two days we have continued with the drainage works, with the 15th almost finished we moved on to the 1st hole, where there was two localised wet patches. 65 meters of drainage has been installed here.
We then had a small low area left of the 10th which needed 35m of drainage
Then on to an area between 10 and 13th for another 80m
Other ongoing maintenance is servicing the fairway mowers, Rob and Adam regrind all the 12 cylinders, replace the bottom blades, change oils, check the machine for any other repairs and thoroughly clean both mowers
