20th green update

Yesterday we finished relaying the turf along side the 20th green. A great effort by the team. We lifted shaped and filled the bunker within 2 days. Luckily enough all finished before the rain this morning. 
The bunker was reduced, filled in with the soil from the hump. 
This is just to turf. 
The remainder of the turf laid
The alterations make the green much more accessible from the tee. The tree in front of the green has also been reduced in height to ensure it is not an issue in future years. 
The soil at the rear of the 20th tee has been shaped and that is to turf and seed in spring. 
Some areas of the course are beginning to get very wet and chewed up. Please stay away from these if possible. 
The practice net near the 1st tee has also been tidied as there was some wear on the net.
