Course Update

Many thanks to Dad's Army who assisted the greens staff with the greens renovations and other course works on Monday. Dad's Army had a morning an afternoon shift which assisted the greens staff to complete the works in quick time. The greens have been cut today at a 3.5mm height.

The fairways and tees will be receiving a granular fertiliser today and will hopefully benefit from overnight rain.

The retaining wall on the 6th tee should be finished today.

The 1st bunker will be shaped and graveled today and it is hoped they will all be back in play next week.

The progress of the 14th tee rebuild has stopped while the excavator is repaired.
