14th Bunker Refurbishment

The Refurbishment of two bunkers on the 14th started on Monday 22nd April. The bunkers will be reshaped and the base lined with AstroTurf.
The bunker on the fairway is having its face reduced and the mound rolled over, to what would have been its origninal shape.
The greenside bunker will be shaped and turned so that it is facing the green and not the 15th tee.

First time of 2013

The greens had there first cut on a weekend for 2013 today. A sure sign that summers on its way. It nearly didn't happen though as there was an early morning frost. Fortunately it cleared quickly off the greens. Bare a thought for the greenkeepers hands sitting on the mower!

Stump Grinding

The stumps remaining from the tree work completed over the winter were removed today using a stump grinder.


The remains of the 3rd Chestnut tree stump are removed


15th Tee Update

Work progresses well on the 15th. The transplanted trees were fitted with wire guys to maintain stability. The rootzone layer has been applied to the tee and has had the first laser level pass. The new pathway has also been backfilled.
