Friday

This week has been quite frustrating with the weather, we have had very little opportunity to cut as the snow has hung around all week. This morning we had to deal with the 3,4,5 & 7 greens on the osprey course and use snow shovels to scoop up the remaining snow/slush. It has hung around in the collars/edges of these greens as they are north facing and the way they are shaped, they had filled up with quite a bit of snow. I would generally never do this and let it thaw out naturally but the course was busy and the snow wasn't actually stuck to the leaf it, so it didnt cause any damage coming up. The 5th green has been left quite wet as the snow on the surrounding banks has melted and washed onto the green, this green hasn't been cut today as it would have put the green under stress. The approaches have also been cut. We are lucky in a sense that last week the course was fully cut so the all the other surfaces are still well presented.
