As we approach Christmas the major renovations are slowing down and we are getting tidied up ready for a period when we have reduced staff numbers. We have had holes 10-18 closed this week so work has concentrated around this area of the course. Tree pruning has continued. The 11th tee area is one that we have pruned the trees back hard. They were effecting turf health and reducing the usage of the teeing area. A total of 15 large trailer loads were removed from between the 11th and 12th holes.
Following work around this tee and green we have tidied leaves, sticks and debris using the back packs.
The only bunker requiring turfing on 10-18 was the right green bunker on 15.
The wooden benches have been brought in to allow them to dry over the festive period. We have also started to make some more stained fence posts.
Over the last week the course has been battered by constant rain and is very wet in areas, more winter cups have been installed and today 4 were in play. I know they are not ideal but are effective in keeping the course open and playable without causing long term damage to the course.
