The weather has been some what unsettled recently with reasonably warm temperatures but a lot of rain! Our maintenance schedule has been carrying on as normal but the growth has really jumped thus the maintenance has been very intense. We had captains day a few weeks ago and we had a great run up too it with some really nice weather and the course came together very well.

The driving range has also had its first stage of jazzing up, with the installation of our new synthetic turf surface supplied by SGS. The surface reacts very similar to normal turf and will be a major tool for Owen Leslie (pro) with the golf academy he is in the process of setting up. The first tennis court is also due for completion in the next few weeks.

The grinders have also been busy, when we have not been able to get on the golf course because of the weather we have been grinding the greens, tees and fairway mower units.
