The course has eventually thawed out enough that we could get out to cut the greens, move holes, tidy leaf litter around tees and greens and rake bunkers. With the course being frozen solid for the last week or so the greens had not been cut for around 3 weeks. We put the height of cut up to 6mm for the first cut as not too take too much off at once and with more frosts forecast will give them a little protection. All 18 greens currently in play were cut with the hand mower, the rest of the greens on 19-27 will be cut tomorrow.

Once we had finished our initial tasks we continued with the drainage on 18, the rest of the trenches were filled with root zone and the turf re laid. Tomorrow we will start draining the middle section of the 18th and finish off the 2 bunkers
