On Sunday it was noticeable that the infestations of chafer grubs we found on holes 3 to 6 have emerged as chafer beetles or May bugs as some people may refer to them.
This is a picture of a beetle on the practice chipping green, there are many beetles flying in the air on warm summer nights, this chart helps us identify which ones are active at the moment.
Looking at the chart this looks very much like the garden chafer beetle, although we have seen some welsh chafer beetles on parts of the course.
The last couple of days we have been topping the bunkers up with sand, another 29 tonnes of bunker sand has been added to holes 10-27. Other bunkers were checked and raked.
Our usual cutting routine continues elsewhere on the course,
