This week we are trying to finish on the 12 hole and get all tidied up before Christmas. The bunker has been dug and drainage is being installed and connected to the drainage system. On the back of the bunker we created a lip and contoured the soil to take run off water into an open drain. This has been turfed using turf from where the bunker has been dug.
The bunker will be turfed in the new year and sand put in before the start of the season.
The good news is after some heavy rain we got last week the green drained fairly quickly after initially puddling. Work is to be continued throughout the year on this green to ensure water can drain freely into the drains.
We are also ensuring ditches are cleared so water can run freely once drained from the playing areas.
Water running from the new drainage.
We had some strong winds last week which caused slight damage, a willow tree on the path from 7 to 8 seeing the worst damage.
Debris clearance has continued in to this week, then the greens have been cut and a slow release granular iron has been applied.
