Edging, tidying and weeding the bunkers

We've started to get the bunkers prepared for the new season, below is a picture of Blair raking the newly edged bunker and the other is of Gary edging and weeding.

Next phase

The changing room/pro shop re-development is carrying on at a steady pace, we are now in position to lift out the individual sections. As at the end of work today we where over half way removing the sections.

Winter wonderland?!!

Hawthorns

We have planted some young hawthorns along the out of bounds on the left hand side of the the 15th fairway before the corner. There are already a few hawthorns along this line, we have filled in the gaps so eventually it will give a nice uninterrupted feature giving good definition.

White frost

Could all golfers please stay off the greens when we are on winter course. This is especially more important during white frost as this could have lasting damage on the plant leave. There is a chance that the grass will not recover until it grows out and until then we will have black then yellow feet/trolley marks on the greens.

Below is a picture of the putting green where a golfer has walked across pulling a trolley.

White frost

There is a hard white frost today at Piperdam, the wee course is closed and the big course is on full winters. The loch is also frozen right over.

Changing rooms

Work continues dismantling the old changing rooms, the first photo shows the plaster board being removed and the second shows the roof beginning to be stripped.
