Today we have been putting the second 29 tonne load of bunker sand in the bunkers. We have filled all the renovated bunkers and the majority are back in play. The 5th green side, the front 13th and the right 15th green side bunkers are the only ones now that are still GUR. These were turfed last and are still a little way off been brought back into play. We are continuing to water the renovated bunkers due the extreme dry weather.
Next week will be the final 29 tonne load of bunker sand, we will put this into the bunkers that need it the most, however we should have enough to ensure all bunkers are checked and topped up.
On Monday the tees will be back to summer grass tees across the course. Given the recent warm dry weather the summer tees have come on well,with dense grass cover. Although many members will be wondering why cant they play from them more, it is very important given the amount of play at Malton and Norton Golf Club, that the summer tees are healthy, actively growing and soil temperatures are high enough to ensure divot repairs germinate successfully before they are used on a daily basis. Although the summer tees will be in use the white tees will still be for competition use only until the 1st April.
