With the course frozen we have made good progress with machinery servicing and staining of tee bins, seats and finished off hazard posts and benches, work that often goes unnoticed, however is essential to keep the course well presented.

Snow in march!.......again
Unfortunately the snow that fell on Wednesday had not totally thawed this morning due to a severe frost, we managed to open 15 holes at 10.15am when the snow had melted enough to make the course safe for play.
The cold weather has brought badgers back on to the course searching for food which has caused significant damage on holes 5 and 6, this will be repaired, starting next week. We hope to apply the insecticide to reduce further damage when the weather is suitable.

If the weather improves next week we will concentrate on irrigation checks, setup and maintenance, repairing damage on the course and hopefully finish off cutting the hedges.
