High winds over the last few days have caused slight problems with sand blowing out of the shallow bunkers and spreading debris over the course once more. The lack of rain with the warm conditions has meant growth is struggling to get going, the course is greening up, however the winter wear is still present and the semi rough is very 'patchy' in these areas. The irrigation is only on greens and tees and is used over night when the winds die down making application possible. Any where away from these areas are reliant on nature to do its best. Repairing of the badger damage is ongoing, these areas are been seeded so we need some warm and wet weather to ensure we get quick germination and recovery. We have been cutting tees, teesides, greens, surrounds, semi rough around greens where the irrigation has reached, also rolling greens, divoting tees, setting mole traps and checking sprinkler head arcs, rotation and application. Next week we hope to reopen the grass tee on the range now we have some growth.

The team busy on the 9th
