Rest week( from tining anyway )

With 1-18 greens done and recovering well we are concentrating on a few of the cutting jobs which we have left over the past 2 weeks. 

We have had some severe down pours over the last few days, this again highlights areas for improvement, especially drainage of some 10-18 bunkers. Over the last few years we have made massive progress with drainage and the amount of time it takes for the course to become 'dry' after prolonged rain. We have a lot more drainage planned for this coming winter, including the 10th and 12th green, 13th tee areas and a drainage ditch around the driving range. 

To make time for the drainage planned we are starting to cut down all areas of long rough ready for the start of the leaf collection season. 

This will be collected up as and when it is cut. 

With cutting of all areas underway this week the course is still in great condition. 

Definition is really good and surfaces are in superb condition. If time allows we hope to treat 'rougue' weeds on tees, surrounds and fairways before the season is over.
