Will, Scott, Al, Rob and Adam spent all of today planting trees on the 7th, 9th, 10th and 26th. 16 pines and 1 oak were planted, some to replace dead ones which did not survive last years dry Spring and Summer. Others to add to the definition to holes.
The greens had their first cut of the year with the triple mower, up to now we have cut them with the hand mower to reduce damage to the turf.
The 1st green

We also just about have the ladies 7th tee ready for turfing, just have to finish the tee surround.
