Turf down on first section.

A really quick update on the progress of the new ditch. Turf gone down on the first section, which takes us up to the front of the 20 th tee. The team have done a fantastic job, the ditch looking good and even has water in already. We will continue turfing when we get caught up on a few jobs next week. 
Leaves will be our main priority, also grass cutting will be done in certain areas. Temperatures are dropping however growth continues slowly. Some areas will get a final topdress with sand before winter arrives. Also we will continue applying worm suppressant to fairways.
