This morning Alistair, Will and Rob raked and seeded the old 26th fairway bunker, which was filled in a couple of weeks ago with the spoil removed from the 14th pond. Topsoil was led to the site and the excavator we had at the time levelled and tracked it down. The greenstaff raked the topsoil and shaped it to match the surrounding contours. The area was seeded using a bent/ fescue seed which will match the grasses in the area.

Another dry day helped us get all cutting done, a dry cut gives all areas definition and the course looks fantastic.
