Mid season renovations

7 days after starting our renovation work to the greens, I'm really pleased how they are recovering after tining. This morning the pins were placed back onto tined areas as they are smooth enough not to cause any issues when putting. In fact 5 days after tining smoothness was back to a near normal level. With this in mind we are to continue tining on 10-18 greens tomorrow, 6th August. Further work on 1-9 greens will start in the next 2 weeks.

Above 17th this morning, below the same green 7 days ago
