Cut, cut cut

view down to 8th


As mentioned yesterday today was all about cutting, Will cut semi, the fairway mowers were set too 14mm for the moment, which has really improved the fairway sward finish. Alistair and Rob spent most of the day brushing and cutting fairways. The greens were cut first thing then Adam cut tees. I spent the majority of the day cutting the intermediate rough with the tractor mounted deck. Mark moved 19-27 holes and cut the copses with the Stiga. We had to hand water some areas on 4 greens first thing as these were starting too 'burn off'. The irrigation is set to water the greens tonight.
