This week has brought us considerably drier weather, the course opened again on Sunday. It has meant we can get back to our regular cutting programme, most areas on the course have been cut yesterday and today, we only have a couple of bunkers on the course to edge and add sand to. Tomorrow we have the Ladies Open Day which is one of the first big open events on the course. The greenstaff try to maintain high standards everyday for general member play, visiting parties and internal competition golf, however for big events we will ensure the course looks and plays its best for everyone visiting. Tomorrow greens will be brushed, cut and rolled, surrounds cut, semi cut, tees divoted, bunkers raked and we hope to finish bunker edging.
