Bunker work


Yesterday all the staff took part in a first aid course to ensure we stay qualified first aiders. This training covers the basics such as cuts, injuries, choking, heart problems, burns and unconsciousness. This will at least ensure we can care for ourselves, other staff members and golfers should they require assistance. The training was given  by Gill and Jenny from DTC organised by Linda Bower of Land Based Training, and our current ladies captain.
On the course we have blown sand from bunker edges to stop it smothering the grass. Following this we have checked sand levels and pushed sand to low spots. They were finally raked using the bunker machine. 
Service of the trail gangs continues along with hedge cutting.
