Course Winter Work Update

Following on from our November presentation regarding our proposed Winter Work schedule I am updating our progress so far. Recent weather has held us back, but fingers crossed we should be able to complete all our commitments in time for the new season.

The first tee project is almost completed, which only requires turfing, decorative posts and a couple more Trees pruned.
The 40 sprinkler heads on Tees and Greens are now being replaced and will be completed for the new season.
Due to recent weather patterns we have not been able to get the verti-draining underway for Fairways and surrounds. Fingers crossed if the weather remains kind we will be starting Vertidrainign all tees in the coming fortnight.

Tee Signs are ordered and will be in place for the new season. (anyone wanting to place an advert for a year on a tee sign please contact the office)

Bunkers on 13 and 17 are now nearing completion for new bunker sand test. Once completed a form will be placed in the proshop for all members to tick, which sand they prefer.

Turfing all coalboard damage areas will commence once ground conditions allow for turfing as all prep work is finished.

Hopefully the weather improves and we have a better summer and no course surprises hit us in the near future.

I will keep the updates coming on our progress.
