This week, we have continued our turfing work. We have now exhausted the last of the turf that we were able to retain following the earthworks.
That turf has been recycled (per se) in low priority areas (mainly tee surrounds) that will require very little future maintenance. However, we believed that this was still a worthwhile exercise because it reduces the financial cost to the golf club of having to purchase new turf.
Our progress, turfing wise, has been excellent and this is directly attributable to some sterling work from volunteer members. Take a bow (in no particular order) Alan Cooper, Mike Hall, Tom Frame and Nick Fletcher. Collectively, this week, the following areas have been completed:
- 8th forward tee
- 7th green surround
- 12th comp tee
These areas should, under favourable weather conditions, start to knit in within the next month or so. We will revisit all these areas soon to finish all the edging in, topdress out any surface irregularities and start rolling them to firm them up.
The feedback so far has been very positive and we are pleased that the course alterations have been well received. It is our intention to finish the remainder of the turfing work within the next 2 weeks.
It is also our intention to get some more mowing done before Christmas if time and weather conditions permit.
Have a great weekend and enjoy your golf!
