Jan 2013 Up date
Good afternoon
Am sure everyone has got over Christmas & new year and are looking forward to the start of the season.
The end of December seen some unseasonable temperatures which was good for the golfer & the course.
This lead to some growth and main playing areas were cut during this period.
The weather soon changed and the firmer ground conditions gave us the opportunity to continue with bunker renovation work and other jobs.
Below is pictures of works carried out with a brief description

 14th fairway bunkering |
This picture shows how far the right fairway bunker is in
the rough and the left fairway bunker closer to the centre of the fairway.
Goals discussed to re position these bunkers
: Create a fairer landing / lay up area between the bunkers.
: Re shape the fairway around the bunkers slightly to the
left to improve the frequent sliced shot over towards the 10th tee
walk off.
: Bring the right fairway bunker back into play
|
 14th fairway bunkering proposed |
| This photo shows a better positioned fairway bunkering which covers the goals set. To date both bunkers have been re shaped and drained just some finishing work to carry out before re turfing |
Please keep up to date with project pictures
