Is Spring here?

This week is forecast to be extremely mild for the time of year, so we have finished off some of the winter renovation jobs:
                                                       The front of the 5th green has now been finished off with turf.

And the 6th tee side has been shaped ready for turfing or seeding
The irrigation system is being opened up this week, before the system is pressurised several valve sets are being replaced, Adam and Alistair are digging out the valve boxes so they can be replaced.
As the weather has been so good the fairways are getting there first cut of the year, here is the 10th looking back towards the clubhouse.
