This week has been mostly frosty which somewhat limits us getting out on to the course to do maintenance tasks.
With vehicles limited we started to dig out the dead trees ready for the delivery of the replacements and the extra ones.
The trees were easily removed and this shows the problems with the roots which were mostly severed when they were lifted.
Hardly any fibrous roots remaining.
It has been very dry for a change and we have managed to get all holes back on to the greens with the only exception being the 21st which is still very wet from the flooding. Some of the winter cups were needed due to the surrounding areas of the greens being very soft. These would have been quickly chewed up from daily play. The greens on some of the holes were ok however getting to them was the issue. Now we are creeping towards spring these should reduce. We hope you can appriciate the need for them, even if we don't like playing to them. Long term we will all benefit from a better course come April/ May.
Friday was without frost so we got out on to the course to tidy sticks under trees and in copses. The first time we could do this due to ground conditions this year.
