We have also been fixing an irrigation leak at the side of the 17th green, a join in the pipe had cracked, probably from the weight of a tractor when vertidraining. Adam exposed the leak and repaired it before testing.

Tree work
The end of this week has involved pruning and removal of of specific branches that are effecting play of holes. Over time the canopy of trees can obstruct and interfere with the way a hole should be played, they also limit usage of tee areas and cause turf thinning and sometimes loss where the light getting to the grass plants is heavily restricted. We monitor ingress of trees and decide on suitable solutions to keep the playability of the course and so it plays fairly.
Holes that we have been working on this week are 4, 5, 8, 12, 18 and 27. On Monday Gary Liversedge the tree surgeon is coming to continue with tree work, removing limbs that we can't reach. For safety reasons holes 10-18 will be closed all day.
Finally all the course has been cut, ready for another busy weekend.
