December update.
We continue to be discussing the periods of heavy rainfall, which totalled 127mm and made managing the course tricky, with damage limitation being the order of most days.
However we've managed to work on the 7th hole reshaping and changing the bunkering,removing the leaves around the course is coming to an end with most of them fallen and just needing blowing off the course or picking up
.Aeration on the greens has continued,and the tee's have been cleaned up with a cut to aid presentation.
In mid December we had a brief period of frost which whitened the grass for a short period and the flags were took off the main greens and put on the winter greens.
Below are photographs to show some of the work.
January work programme
We will finish off the bunkering on the 7th hole, the drainage work on various parts of the course will be completed.
Tree work will be tackled in the early part of the month were we aim to thin out copses to allow individual trees to flourish and in doing so will create better air flow and sun penetration to dry out areas around the course. The benefits of the work will be noticed in spring when the trees come into leaf and will
give better definition to the landscape
