 The reduced greenkeeping team are doing a great job in keeping up with the essential maintenance over both courses etc
 Both courses have really greened up since the rain which has really helped reduce the stress on the surfaces, but in turn has made the greens surface speed lower due to the extra growth, so if we have manage we will turf iron after cutting to help increase the speed
 All surfaces are now growing harder due to the rainfall and heat in the last couple of weeks

 Our wildflower area on our driving range is starting to bloom
 We have managed to cut and set up our driving range just in time for it opening on Monday 6th July
 Same with our short game area & PG's all ready to be opened on Monday 6th July
 With having a reduced staff it's been very difficult to carry out any work to the bunkers over both the courses, but we have managed to cut and clean all the bunker faces, rake and weed all bunkers apart from the newly built bunkers from the winter and these will stay G.U.R until further notice but all other bunkers will be back in play from Monday 6th July, we are hoping to fully rake the bunkers once a week
We have turned the Craighead course hole cups back to the correct way and have added foam to the bottom of the pins to see how this works compared to the cups being upside down, this should help reduce balls bouncing back out the hole
