We had heavy snow on Wednesday night into Thursday, luckily it had all gone by Friday morning. We carried on with limbing branches on the golf course this week, we have cleared and area on LHS of the 10th fairway. This an area that has been up for much debate over the years so after discussions with Bashir (Greens Convenor) we came to an agreement that we should look at thinning the area out and making it more playable for the golfers. We also discussed the possibility of moving the white tee forward to the yellow block on 17, this will take the par 3 down from 210 yards to 181 yards this should make the hole more golfer friendly as the as it stands the par 3's on the course are quite long and tricky, the hole will still offer a challenge but it should make it more fun! We will also be looking at putting the white tee block on 9 back to the original tee on the LHS this will better accent the hole and golfers will be hitting into the hill rather than with the hill this will better give the hole the character and definition we are looking for. This will also stop any unfair run in to the bunkers. We have also been up at the lodges this week tidying up all the damage that has occurred to the trees so far this winter.
