With a week of perfect weather we have once again been catching up on some of the smaller jobs, Will and Scott edged the practice bunkers and tidied our storage area at the 3rd. Al and Rich top dressed out all of the old drains we installed on the course a couple of years ago. Adam and Rob soil and seeded some more of the water damaged areas and top dressed the 23rd drain again.
We continued cutting across the course as the rate of growth is still very high. The definition on the fairways is superb given the weather.
Scott applied some fertiliser to the tees mid week to help them recover from wear and to ensure they remain healthy. All the re levelled tees will be hollow cored in the next month or so.
