Providing a centre of information regarding the maintenance of the golf course
Wednesday, 18 January 2012
Today the frost was still in the ground first thing so we continued on with machinery servicing, tree pruning, updating risk assessments and H & S files and the normal daily duties of moving tee markers, switching (where possible) and moving hoops around greens. Today we had a delivery of turf to finish the bunker surrounds tomorrow. Hopefully the frost will have lifted enough in the morning to get all the holes moved as we have not had chance recently due to the weather.
