First taste of a real winter

Sunday night brought around 2 inches of snow, which came in a short time followed by freezing conditions. This is the first taste of a real winter this year and brought the first days closure since February 2014. The fore cast this week is to remain cold so the snow will be slow to melt. 

This morning there was not much change from yesterday ( pictured above )

Just a little more grass peeping through but the course certainly along way off being playable. This hasn't stopped us getting on with maintenance tasks inside and out.

The drains in the 10th bunker have been finished off, fallen trees from the high winds have been cleared away, fences repaired, machine maintenance continued and holes for trees are still being dug. 

A total of 45 6ft trees will have been planted this winter with more whip trees to go in around the new 20th tee area.

Whilst the course is closed we are giving away free range balls to give golfers the chance to practice if they want. 

Please note the car park will be repaired   tomorrow. Filling in potholes and repairing the pull ins down the lane.
