Cutting

We where lucky enough this week to get a majority of the cutting done early in the week as it has got a bit wet today. We are luck in a sense just now that it is s bit cooler so apart from the greens and approaches the rest of the surfaces are only needing cut weekly.

We had a small problem with our fairway mowers, as it burst a hydraulic hose but thanks to johns quick thinking damage will be minimal and it's not in a key area it's just before the burn on the 12th.

This week we have also been working on the newer tees 5,6,7,11,12 & 13. These tees have been quite weak since construction so we overseeded into the core holes that where still open from last year, dressed by hand and fed. All tees and approaches have been fed on both courses.

The new black tees at the 1st and 15th have also been prepped ready for either seeding or turfing.

A new path has been dug into the back of the 11th green this will allow us to grow a collar of rough as all golf should stick to the path. This will be far enough back not to affect golfers but to give some definition.
