The weather hasn't been our friend in the last few weeks, we have had torrential rain, high winds and low temperatures, lets hope this improves. The only real damage with the wind on the golf side at Piperdam was the driving range netting, the whole right hand has blown loose, we're lucky the netting became unattached or we could have had much more major damage with the supports coming down!!

The 5th fairway has been fed, the turf that was put down 2 years ago just needs a little kick start to get going as there isn't a lot of nutrient in the soil because of the major soil movement before turfing. We also fed the rough on the right hand side of the fairway as it was seeded and again just needs a little hit to thicken it up.

The newly seeded areas have started to germinate and the seed has started to grow.
