Making the Greens Great Again........

Sometimes when I sit down to write these posts I struggle to think I'll find anything that will keep peoples interest. But this post isnt really one of those posts.
The greens drainage works have been completed within schedule, so 5 further greens have had primary drainage systems installed into them that will enable us in time to link the drainage up with secondary drainage like sand slits. The schedule I set out was always asking a lot, broken down we were looking at completing the works on each individual green in 3 days. That was from the drainage runs being marked out, the turf lifted, trenching works carried out & then pipe, stone & rootzone added. The turf is then relayed. Quite a lot of work to get done in 3 days!!!! Once again the greenstaff, working with the contractors worked tirelessly & with dedication to complete the tasks within schedule. Working 12 hour + shifts enabled the work to be finished. Without this work effort the work would have taken longer & the disruption would have lasted longer. That as I've mentioned previous is something I'm always conscious off and once again I thank the membership for their understanding whilst we carried out this latest stage of course development works.










So the focus will now shift to getting the greens back in play as soon as possible and preparing the golf course for the winter.
