We are getting though the dozer work now. The carry at the new 16th has had the soil reapplied. The big job is the new 6th fairway, this has really taken shape and weather dependant hopefully will be all soiled up by the weekend.

Soiling up
The 17th green has been final soiled and is getting fine rake and prep.
We have now moved onto the new 14th green and by end of play Thursday I would hope to have this soiled up.
The old 8th fairway, work will re commence over the weekend (weather permitting) the D6 bulldozer coming in to begin soiling up.
