Today we went someway to catching up on cutting across the course from time lost last Friday. We cut fairways again today after cutting them only yesterday, just to try and get a reasonable cut with the amount of growth.
 7th fairway
11th fairway
Greens were groomed and cut this morning, disease pressure is very high at the moment due to the moisture and humidity so an application of iron and seaweed will be applied to the greens later this week if weather conditions allow. Adam, Will, Rich and Scott spent most of the morning restoring bunker sand and raking bunkers from the storm washouts last week.
This afternoon we continued turfing the 23rd drain, hopefully tomorrow we will have finished all the turfing and tidy the area up once more.
