Stormy weekend ahead

Although the majority of the week has been dry last night and today has been wet and wild. We managed to work around the showers to get the majority of jobs completed.
Following the aeration and top dressing we carried out at the start of the week we got an application of primo and iron on to the greens. This was about the only oppertunty weather wise so we had to take it. We also sprayed the tees with wetting agent, this was done with rain forecast to wash it into the soil profile. 
All areas have been cut ready for the weekend. 

We have strimmed all areas that can't be reached with a machine, tidied the mounds on 16th, tidied round the 8th pond, strimmed sides of 17th ditch and cut copses with the stiga. All intermediate rough has been cut and bunker edges continued to be edged. 
The forecast for tomorrow isn't great so I'm pleased we have completed all tasks
