Course update 30/01/13

The weather this month has been somewhat the norm...more rain! The greens are in good condition considering, the benefits of the pencil tining are evident. Hoping to get some more slit tining on the fairways and tees during February, get some air into the soil!

We've been busy with some DIY works to improve our workshops, smart sheds raises the game out on the course. Sammy has done a great job in particular and is proving to be an asset to the team.

Myself and Pops started with the new fence along the road beside the 10th hole, this is to protect walkers, bikers etc. from getting hit by any golf balls.

David and Nelio our mechanics, have worked endlessly. They have now completed all our 'winter servicing' in good time, and progress onto some more intense mechanical work. This work is vital to our plans out on the course, so we thank David and Nelio  behind the scenes!

The new bunkers on the 3rd are looking a lot better with the rope taken away. Please keep using the steps when entering the bunkers. We will be introducing an 'edge cut' once tempretatures start to rise, this will be one pass around every green at a lower height of cut than the surrounds. We're hoping this will improve playability around the greens along with the visual aspect. 

Hole 3 complete

Please stay away from wet areas on fairways and around greens, and enjoy your golf!
