Last weeks rainfall total ended up at 83.5mm after we received a further 28.5mm overnight on Friday. As you can see this took us well over the average for the month of May and well above the year to date average.This also meant that all of the time we spent pumping water out of bunkers during the day on Friday was all for nothing as it was all back again on Saturday morning.
Bunker grading - extreme style!

The past week has seen us edge all of the bunkers prior to this weekends Pennant matches. The two fairway bunkers on the left-hand side of the 13th fairway have also had a facelift with a significant amount of grading work undertaken to move sand back to the high side of the bunkers. Greens have had an application of fungicide to control some small areas of disease which were present.
