A wet week...

Fairways..

It’s all in the detail.....

 

Rain at last....

A month without rain ☔️

As the government announce another three weeks of lockdown, here are some photos for you all to enjoy, as-well as my usual ramblings 😊 . Stay safe everyone.

The semi rough was cut for the first time this week.

With soil temperatures up, there was plenty of grass growth this week.

My family & golf course isolation...

The week before this pandemic began I was on annual leave, during that period my parents came to stay with us in their beloved motorhome. They made the decision to stay with us during lockdown and isolate together, helping Aimee and I with home schooling the kids. I am lucky to have such supportive folks, one of which happens to be a retired builder!!!

I soon got Ben back on the tools, making short work of repairing the damaged curb at the entrance to the clubhouse.

 

 

My mum is also keen to help out on our extended garden, pruning around some of our newly planted gorse bushes and weeding around the clubhouse, closely supervised by my eldest.

They have also been assisting with the security checks of the golf course, we walk the course to make sure we don’t have any unwanted visitors. So far we have had to move on a few dog walkers and cyclists that have tried to take advantage of the lack of golf but no significant damage as of yet 🤞🏻.

Steve and myself continue to maintain, present and protect your wonderful golf course, with a little help from my family, stay safe everyone, looking forward to catching up with you all soon.

Happy Easter 🐣

1st greenside bunker back in play.

The 1st greenside bunker is open and looking fantastic, it is also easier to get in and out of......

‘Reel’ men grind......

Two weeks closer to opening.

The 7th green open for business and performing well after a long wet winter, if only we had someone to play it.
