Mow-vember


As the wintery showers rolling in off the east coast begin we are still out on the course making it as playable as possible. Today the weather has been dry enough to get out with a triple to cut the greens, we're cutting at 4.5 mm bench setting, so slightly lower on the greens. Still looking and playing well, we will turn to the hand mower as soon as conditions dictate. 
We have also started putting in another drain on the right hand 13th green bunker. 

This will be finished tomorrow. 
An open drain has been installed to the left of the 10th green in a wet spot
Earlier in week Adam worked on some tee sprinklers ensuring the system works when we need it
