Thunderstorms

Unfortunately the picture below sums the weather up at the minute. Heavy rain and thunderstorms have passed over us throughout the weekend and this afternoon.

We were fairly lucky on Saturday as we escaped with only 6mm of rain, however this afternoon in the space of a couple of hours we have had nearly double that. 

We managed to get fairways, tees, greens, some semi and 10th ditch cut before the rain came. 

Now the greens are slightly softer please can I remind all golfers to repair pitch marks. 

A basic poster courtesy of bigga will be in the clubhouse soon, just as a reminder. 

Thank you 

This week we hope to finish strimming tree bases, get some more sand into a few of the low bunkers and sand a few of the wet areas on the course. 

The staff checked and adjusted sand distribution in the bunkers last week. From checking bunkers we have identified a number of bunkers which require sand to ensure the depth in the bunker is consistent. We use a sand called devilla. The Devilla sand is an waste product from glass production, however we have found it to be better than the old sand we used called bunkerite. The new sand drains better and compacts better over time.
