Today's jobs were to hand cut greens, cut aprons, cut winter greens, change holes, move tee markers, divot tees, rake all bunkers then work on 9th tee. On the tee we broke up the surface with our harrow/levelling bar this will allow us to move material from the high areas to the low areas and also we dug the trench for moving the sprinkler head
