Mooove that cow!

Was a surprise to find 7 cows roaming the golf course this morning! Some damage was made to the 17th green, which was repaired straight away. The third is now complete, the newly turfed area to the right of the green will be cut with the surrounds mower at height of 12mm, this creating a nice swail off area. We will commence turfing the bunkers on hole 4 tomorrow and plan for this project to be finished by Friday. We had to move a couple of irrigation heads this morning around where the new bunkers are on holes 4 and 11, and adjust there heights, to go with the new contours. The bunkers on 11 are shaping up nicely and are in line once the 4th is complete. I can honestly say it looks daunting from the tee now, which is for you to decide weather you want to improve your golf or not!

We set the south side up for play this morning as the north side is closed, and looks to be for a couple of days. No trolleys are allowed on the course at this time. 

Other jobs I intend to be completed before March -

-Strip path ends and turf

-Aerify greens

-Trim trees along the 11th lake banks

-Fill in 'out technoed' bunkers

-Improve drainage on 5th approach and 4th approach

All new bunkers will be edged, sanded and in play 1st of March 2013.

One last mention we have noticed ball blemishes on the greens. Pitch marks obviously take alot more time to heal in the winter months, please make sure you repair your ball marks, if you want us to produce good surfaces, please play your part and help us out!

Enjoy
