Storm Damage work continues

Some trees fell during the recent high winds and in certain areas have created obstructions. These were tackled first.

A Very Wet and Windy Merry Christmas

December rainfall figures currently stand at 149.8mm, that's 75.3mm above the December average and 53.7mm more than December last year 2012. I Guess that means it's wet!

A few trees have also fell from the strong winds.

Sleepers from the bridges float away

Winter Projects and Improvements

Due to uncertain circumstances some winter projects have been put on hold. These are mostly projects which were due to be undertaken by outside contractors. Other winter projects planned to be completed by our own staff remain on target, however their may be some general changes as certain projects take priority over others.

Projects and Improvements:

Improvement:
To the area between the 1st & 12th tees.

Tree work:
Focusing on improving sunlight penetration and air movement to the playing surface, particularly around greens and tees. Reducing bunker contamination by removing or pruning overhang.

Tree safety management, pruning or removing unsafe trees and trees that pose risks to machinery and operators.

Tree and shrub planting:
Focusing on screening behind the new 15th tee and other areas.

Adding colour and improved aesthetics behind the 2nd green and adding to the planting area behind the 5th green.
Replacing fallen or removed trees where necessary.
