Demolition work!


 Obviously too far to go to get the rake!

A steady month of rainfall following on from a very wet June has meant that the course is now starting to become very wet and boggy in all of the usual places. The upside of this is that the main dam is now at the point where it will start to overflow after the next significant rain fall event. Despite the inclement weather the greens are still reasonably firm, true and quick; and are in a healthy condition with minimal disease present.

The following pictures are of the demolition of the old 6th tee drinks shed, now that the shed has been removed this coming spring will see the tee squared off at the back, levelled and have new brick edging the same as at the 3rd and 9th tees.
