Wet, wild but the work continues

Overnight rain had made the course fairly sticky, the water had then frozen in patches on the greens and around the course. The forecast was reasonable throughout the morning so we opened the course on a number of temporary greens. We continued to tidy up the drainage work on holes 13 and 15, servicing the machinery, updating the health and safety policies and moving holes. We are having ongoing problems with badgers again, they seem to be especially bad when we have cold weather, they are creating damage looking for grubs and worms beneath the turf.

 At the other end of the course we had a break from drainage and used the excavator to re shape the back of the 25th tee, this area has sunk over time due to the severe slopes and the amount of soil used to build the tee originally.
