Building bridges

Frosty days 

Last week saw the start of building the walls which make the ends of the crossing points on the new section of ditch from the range to the 17th. In total there are 5 walls to build. We are building them using washed stones from an old collapsed ditch wall behind the 12th. These are natural sandstones and will make the ditch a real natural feature in the years to come. 

3 walls down 2 more to go. Once finished turf will be used to finish the surface and continue to turf the ditch sides and then this winter project will be finished.

Other areas turfed has been the wet poor  patch on the 15th fairway that has recently been drained 

Today we have started to slit tine fairways and start clearing some small pines out from the 3rd copse. Hedge cutting continues at the 13th tee.
