Contractors starting to trench the irrigation mainline across the 16th/17th fairways
Work has now started on the 1st stage of the new irrigation system, with contractors installing the new irrigation mainline from the pumpshed over the dam wall and across the 16th and 17th fairways. Work has so far progressed to the rear of the 5th green which will allow us in the coming weeks to continue to install the irrigation to the 5th, and then, 4th holes.
Course maintenance over the last two weeks has also seen staff busy preparing the course for the upcoming club championships and a busy two months of trade days. Greens and surrounds have been fertilised, and fairways are now starting to show signs of Spring growth. The rough is growing at an alarming rate and the rough mower is being used all day, every day to keep on top of things. The weather has certainly been changeable, with a mixture of strong winds, high and low temperatures and rain all within the last seven days.
On a lighter note it would be remiss of me to mention the long-serving member of staff who on Ladies Pink Ribbon day made a special effort and looked resplendent in a full length pink dressing gown - a great effort!

Another victim of the strong winds
