Adams update

Dry weather continues so hand watering and daily irrigation cycles continue on greens, tees and approaches. Growth has slowed due to lack of moisture, however regular cutting continues to ensure appearance remains high. Intermediate rough has been cut and bunkers continue to be edged on the derwent nine holes. Tees are being divoted with the help of a work experience student from Norton college.



A number of wasp nests have come to light in the past week or so which are being dealt with as they are found. The irrigation leaks are being repaired, however the box at the 4th is still to be completed.
I will post pictures shortly
