More path replacement

Despite the cold weather and frozen ground we continue to complete some of the jobs on our winter work programme.
The path between the putting green and 1st tee has needed replacement for a number of years. Much debate within the greens committee has taken place. The 1st choice material was a bonded rubber material, but due to a cost of over £5000 was dismissed.
It was decided to go with the red shale we have used throughout the course. But to install the plastic netpave on the slope down to the fairway. Hopefully, this should prevent washout and if successful will be rolled out onto the rest of the course.
We also took the opportunity to widen the path around the starters hut and extend the parking area around the putting green.
A new bench will be installed before the start of the season.
