Christmas is just around the corner, trying to get in the spirit the green staff have put up the outdoor lights on the tree near the club house. Every year that passes makes it harder to get them to the top !

Looking better as the light falls

It feels like the leave collection is coming to an end, we have had another clear up and with very few leaves left on the trees it feels like we are winning the battle. Once all leaves in priority areas are clear we will clear hedge backs, ditches, longer roughs and hand clear inaccessible areas. 

Other jobs have been to put out more traffic management aids ie hoops and ropes to help spread wear. More markers have been put on winter positions to give the tees and access routes a rest as there is no recovery at the moment. 

The greens were cut this morning, current height of cut 4.5 mm. We started early to beat golfers, ideal conditions this morning, the course looking great for December. The greens have started to take up the fertiliser application showing green up and look and play well. Tees have also been divoted and hand hedge cutting continues.
