This week we have had 500 ton of top soil delivered so we have hired in a local contractor to build a turf nursery at the end of our driving range. the course is still very wet this week so our jobs have been to start edging and cleaning up our tee paths etc, today we cut greens with no perimeter cut, rake bunkers, move markers and divot, clean mess room etc and re-level driving range car park as the lorries bringing in the soil caused slight damage.
