What has been beneficial is some very worthwhile verti draining on some greens and approaches (to include temporary greens). This will assist in the drainage of surface water on these playing areas and the open spike/tine holes will assist in keeping them drier.
We have also had an approved chainsaw trainer/assessor on the golf course this week and these guys have felled a fair few trees.
Areas of the golf course are now opening up and this will aid recovery shots from tree areas as well as speeding up mowing and reducing the quantity of fallen leaves that have to be collected each year.
The really positive thing is that the work is not costing members any money and it starts the ball rolling with the execution of the golf course masterplan.
We anticipate that we have now started a great partnership with the chainsaw instructor. This will help in delivering a golf course that maintains a parkland feel but is adopting a sensible approach to woodland management at the same time. We hope that you will all start to see the benefits to this excellent work and we welcome constructive feedback.
Finally this week, thanks to Mike Hall and Nick Fletcher for installing 3 new ball washer consoles on holes 3, 5 and 7. They look fantastic! Well done guys.
Have a great weekend and enjoy your golf.
