Drying out.

The course has really benefited from 8 days without rain (the longest dry spell since May last year). We've even managed to get buggies back on.
Despite the almost daily temperatures which have hovered around freezing, we have been able to start catching up with many outstanding jobs. We have turfed many of the holes created by tree removal as well as the area on the 3rd fairway slope. This area has suffered from settlement and the turf was removed to level this area up. It is hoped later this year to return the slope to a fairway height of cut.
Hopefully next week, we will finish the turfing and start on some small drainage repairs on the 5th, 7th, 15th & 16th holes. We are also in the middle of spraying the fairways with iron to green them up and kill any moss. We also plan to renovate the large bunker on the front practice green.
We are looking into replacing the path material around the putting green. Prices for various options are being obtained.
Lets hope the dry spell continues, hopefully with higher temperatures so we can get back on the main greens.
