The weather has certainly improved, currently a ridge of high pressure is over the UK bring drier, calm, sunny conditions, even feeling warm in the sun. Over night temperatures still are very cold as there are clear skies and frost is inevitable.

 We are making the most of the dry weather by cutting some grass, after the initial frost we have been out cutting surrounds, teesides and tees. There is little growth but cutting regularly helps maintain the surfaces to adequate presentation and playability standards. We cut the surrounds with a hand mower to reduce vehicle damage, the tees and teeside are cut with a national machine set to 13mm for the tees and 30mm for the teesides.

We also finished off the range path and continued with hedge cutting

The 9th green drainage project is also coming to an end, Adam and Rob have worked throughout the last 3 days to ensure the drain is finished as soon as possible to bring the green back in to play and have done a fantastic job. It will be nice to see the back of water standing on this green after rain. They have just got to finish the root zone off and replace the turf.
