The final 2 bridges were completed last week. Making a total of 5 bridges, all constructed 'in house' using reclaimed stone from off the course. Once built the backs were backfilled and turfed to contour into the surroundings.
The remainder of bank sides were turfed also and root zoned where needed. Overall aesthetically the project has been a huge success. The team have worked on and off on the project since September last year and now complete is a great addition to the course set up. The other and more important advantage of the ditch is the increased drainage characteristic around the area. Noticed by a lot of members is the increased drain down time and drier surfaces. Hopefully other drainage ditches will be possible in the future.
On other areas of the course we have made a start on some tree work. Concentrating on thinning some of the over crowded copses on 3, 5/6 and 12. Some other areas may be possible depending on time.
We have also made an application of slow release soluable fertiliser to approaches, and all worn areas. This will be evident on the course when u see blue/ purple granules that will begin to smear when wet. This will release into the soil and be taken up by the grass plants when temperatures rise.
