Monsoon season

Since the warm weather that was present  at the time of the last blog, it has rained. And rained. And rained. Over 4 inches or 100mm +. 

Hence, the golf course is very wet and looking a little battered by the elements. Good old British weather eh?? 

Lakeland Construction completed the contracted earthworks last week. Now we are in the process of re-turfing. Our first priority is to re-use as much of the existing turf (that we stripped with the turf cutter) as possible.



The new bunker that was created on the left side of the 3rd fairway has been re-turfed. The turf is a bit yellow at present but that is due to it being deprived of sunlight for a couple of weeks. In time, it will recover and green-up.

We have also re-turfed the 17th tee bank and we have also started re-turfing the new 13th tee complex. 

In time, all the existing turf out on the golf course will be used and then we will make arrangements to have some new turf delivered for the teeing areas.
