Today we made a start hand cutting the greens as the frost had come out of the ground, we will finish these off next week. We raked all the bunkers, the 9th third fairway bunker is now back in play after having a new drain installed, Scott also made a start spraying the fairways with sulphate of iron to help control moss. 19 - 27 fairways will be finished next week. All the holes have been moved for the weekend. Next week we will be doing some small turfing jobs on the 13th and 5th, finishing spraying fairways and hand cutting greens. The turf will be lifted of the 21st tee ready for levelling the following week.
