A very frustrating week for both ourselves on the greens team and you golfers. Monday, we had the mowers out, cutting surfaces, fairways, aprons, tee's and we gave the greens an iron. Tuesday however we woke up to a covering of snow and freezing temperatures. As i write my notes on Friday morning the course is still covered in snow with heavy wind and rain forecast for Saturday. I will carry out regular inspections and get the course open as soon as possible, I do expect the course to be very wet over the next few days and we have to fine the balance of getting the course open but protecting it for better days. The ropes have worked well protecting the course and we will continue this going forward. We will also look at making fairway mats compulsory now that that the weather has turned to help protect our playing surface. This will be communicated to the membership next week.
The staff, meanwhile, have been busy around the shed this week getting essential machine maintenance carried out and tidying up the sheds. We have also started some tree work removing low branches around the course and will continue this over the winter. Dave.
