We allowed the players on Tuesday to practise from the turf in front of the mats, so after we raked up all the divots cut the area to clean it up then gave it a heavy top-dressing to smooth off the surface

This morning we shut the driving range so we could collect all the balls and cut as next week the range has to be kept open as it's so busy with the Open at St Andrews so next cut will be a week on Tuesday, other jobs today were to cut greens with triple with no perimeter cut, rake all bunkers and check tee markers etc we have done well today as we are 2 staff down plus it was meant to be rain first thing
