Start of the 20th green alteration

Now the drainage is finished, we took the opportunity of a dry morning to cut greens, surrounds and tees. The greens were cut for the first time following the fertiliser application, with it washed in via irrigation there was minimal pick up. It has started to take effect and the turf looks great and look to be rolling well.

The tees were brushed then cut with the triple for the first time, checking alinement and burning in the summer stripes. 

 The16th green drainage was finished today, another fantastic job done by the team. Let's hope we see an improvement  on this green this year. 

The pit has been filled in where we had a break in the irrigation wire. 

We have now moved on to the last project for the spring, the 20th green surround and right bunker.  

The surround has a mound on it at the front of the green which makes it difficult to play approach shots to a front pin and obscures the view of the pin from the tee. We are lowering the mound and extending the bunker slightly to make it easier to rake.
