Today we finished off the drainage work at 14th, then set up the slit tiner for to start the fairways which we got holes 1 to 4 completed and the verti-drainer to try and relieve the compaction around the new drainage lines at hole 5 then start verti-draining walkways etc and the rest of the staff were working at the 12th tee wall

The new wall at the 12th tee has been started after hassle this morning with the old cement mixer which we had to replace

Andy rolling greens after the greens were solid tined

Drainage line completed and cleaned up

The course is closed this week to allow us to complete drainage work on hole 14, rebuild wall at 12th tee and to solid tine the greens

We finished rebuilding the 5th bunker this week, today we rolled greens, moved tee markers, raked bunkers, set up corer for solid tining greens next week, petrol run and made a start to taking the 12th tee wall down as it's getting rebuild next week

This week the staff have been rebuilding & reshaping the 5th bunker, other jobs on the course have been bunkers raked Mon & Wed, markers moved daily & divoted and greens vibrate rolled. This morning Double a the John Deere dealer was at our Clubhouse showing local Greenkeepers a presentation of new machines etc

White frost Tuesday morning so we put pins on winter greens but with all the rain and thaw last week we had to syringe all the water out the winter cups

Our next winter project, rebuilding the 5th bunker and installing drains

No wonder it's not a good drainer with this clay under the sand

All clay dug out and new drainage pipe put in across bunker and is tapped into existing drain so hopefully problem solved

Other jobs were to cut greens, change holes set tee markers up, rake all bunkers as we had our Wednesday medal on, fill in the pot holes in road to shed then work at 5th bunker, this week we have a skeleton staff in as staff are down at Harrogate to the BTME exhibition
