18th fairway slip

We started to turf the fairway slip at 18. It's still a little wet so please be sensible stay off the newly turf.  As if golfers walk on it we will get foot prints.

Drainage

The drainage has been improved on the road around the 1st tee and the road the buggies are parked on.  This involved cutting into the existing road and adding pipe and drains. 

We have also lined the fairway bunkers on the 10th (old 12th) and 14th (old 16th), that's all new bunkers away from the green sites ready for sand closer to the season.

Lining bunkers

We have been carrying on with different jobs on the course.   We have started to line the newly constructed bunkers with upside down turf this will stop contamination off the new sand.  We use the wacker plate first to level and compact the soil then we lay the turf on top.

16th tee bank

Old 8th new 6th fairway.

Bill the shaper has finished shaping up the fairway, we now need to conditions to either go cold or dry up before we can get the top soil put back on.  The picture below shows Bill not to far away from the tee bank.  The shape was taken right back to the tee bank.

Tee banks

The weather has eased up a bit with rain, so we've taking this opportunity to start turfing some tee banks.
