During the week before Christmas two new paths were constructed by contractors SPEEDCUT.
A new path was constructed from the 4th tee to the edge of the 3rd fairway.
This area is prone to sitting very wet and becoming boggy during pronlonged spells of wet weather.
This new path will help alleviate some of the problems this area has suffered from in the past.
The path around the 12th lake was also reconstructed. The path was made much wider to accomodate the use of buggies and to alleviate the problems of standing water.
It was also improved to maintain the initial first impressions as you venture out onto the course.
Due to the very dry winter with very little rainfall, leaf clearance has progreesed far better than in recent years. The drier the conditions the easier it becomes to move the leaves across the surface and over further distances. This also speeds up the process of sucking them up as the Trilo Vacumn leaf collector is less prone to blocking as the leaves are not soaking wet and heavy, and are less contaminated with mud and other debris. Leaf clearance has gone so well this winter we have even started clearing the ditches far earlier that expected.
