Northern Counties

The greenstaff have been putting the hours in to get the course ready for the EGU Northern Counties tournament. The weather over the last 5 days has been fantastic and really helped speed along our preparations. The greens have come on leaps and bounds, with the poa annua smoothing out its growth pattern. The bunkers have dried out and the sand has loosened again due to the lack of moisture bonding the particles. This is a direct consequence of the previous wet summers washing out the faces and contaminating the sand with fine soil particles. It's hoped to start correcting this next winter and also reduce the height of some of the faces.
