We have started to dig a soak away along the length of the 3rd tee hoping this will stop the surface water running over the tee path and tee and to help this area dry quicker after heavy rain, this will be filled with pea gravel then sandy soil on top then re-turfed with the existing turf lifted from this area, the soil we are digging out is heavy clay.

Today the greens were put on winter greens as the frost is coming out of the ground leaving the surface very soft and wet and underneath still hard on the summer greens, today we checked the course, moved tee markers, we have put most of the men's tees forward onto the ladies tees to help spread wear on the tees and the fairway landing areas these will be put back for winter medal play, also we finished off the area along the wall at hole 16 which looks so much tidier now.
