23rd green bank update

The last couple of days we have been working hard leading soil, contouring the bank and laying turf to form the new surround on the 23rd banking. The weather has been ideal for this work as the ground is very dry and firm leaving hardly any mess. We have moved over 400 tonnes of soil from the surrounding areas from the start of the project to improve this green, but hopefully when it is all finished it will be worth the effort. We have built a bunker into the bank to add a little difficulty from the tee, which we have made easier adding the banking. By the end of the week we will have the bank raked and seeded. The majority of the bank will be sown with a dwarf rye mix and the bunker turfed to aid stability during the grow in period.
