Well we have been thinking the snow would arrive for the first time this winter for a while, and when it came this is all it could manage. Not a bad thing. Although not a lot it is enough to suspend play until the green surfaces are clear at least. Times like these give us opportunity to get on with non turf related jobs, but essential ones that need to be done before the spring. We are staining benches, painting and staining fence posts and finishing off tee markers.
We have also had an Am Am competition over the last few days so we have completed the bunker work ( sand distribution and blowing ) put out new hole cups and ferrules on the flags and tidied debris around the course.
We have cleared out a blocked drain to the left of the 1st green which was causing the turf around the front of the green to become saturated.
The 11th tee is continuing, however the weather has slowed progress somewhat.
The current rainfall is still causing flooding problems on holes 21-24. The river derwent is still exceptionally high, so there is no signs of water levels receding on those holes for the next week at least.
Looking towards the 24th green!
