Christmas

As Christmas approaches the team have been tidying up and finishing any projects that need finishing before the Christmas break. The 12 th has been finished off, the bunker shaped and a drain installed, 3 open drains put in at the side of the 12th green where low spots were identified and the whole are topdressed to help blend in all new works. 

The area will be topdress regularly throughout winter to ensure the turf, especially on the green, blends in well and is put table for the start of the new season.
The course has been in reasonable good condition throughout this winter so far and a credit to the team. Overall this year a fantastic effort from the team and they deserve all the praise for there continued hard work with limited time. From all the greenkeeping staff have a merry Christmas and a happy new year and I will be back in 2015 with more blogging updates.
