Today we have been battling with the mass of leaves that are falling at the moment. The cold winds are blowing leaves across the course making it difficult for us to collect them, keep the course in good condition and its making play difficult due to lost golf balls. We are constantly rounding and clearing leaves however our efforts are not making an impact when the winds are strong. Next week when more leaves are down and the winds are lighter we will start to clear the course once more.

Other jobs today have been picking up the range balls, cutting 1-18 greens, cutting the surrounds, moving the holes, brushing and cutting the fairways. We usually stripe the fairways but in winter we cut them half and half to minimise turning with the machines, plus some of the stripes are difficult to see as the fairways are not cut regularly enough.
