16th Green after sanding
Greens renovations took place as scheduled this week, with the weather and machinery breakdowns having a slight impact on the overall timing of the operation. Greens were scarified on Monday to a depth of 25mm, they were then cored to 100mm over the next two days. Due to the 16.5mm of rain we received overnight on Monday sanding of greens took slightly longer than normal. The majority of greens were sanded on Monday/Tuesday with the last four greens completed in front of the field on Wednesday, with some greens then receiving a top-up of additional sand on Thursday morning (a total of @70 tonne of sand is used throughout the renovation process). The sand on the greens has been worked into the core holes using a rotary brush and dragmats and are on schedule to receive their first cut early next week..
Fallen limb - 13th Ladies tee
The strong winds of last weekend also saw numerous branches brought down around the course with the largest falling across the Ladies 13th tee on Sunday night.
