Providing a centre of information regarding the maintenance of the golf course
Tuesday, 17 January 2012
The last couple of days has brought back very cold weather, the work we started on 13 and 15 has had to be put on hold until the ground thaws. As we cant do any construction work, we have continued with servicing of machines, painting of tee markers and tree pruning. The next few days forecast is to warm slightly so hopefully we can get the bunkers turfed and tidied up. As the ground is currently frozen members have to take care around the course not to cause injury to themselves or to cause any unnecessary damage to the course.
