Course Update

Xmas Eve – Status Red, Carry if able. Nice breezy fresh morning…. so no operation even to remove the Dew, just fresh pin position’s to move them away from the Black Footprints. Big labour slog on the Bunkers, a Flymo to start…. Faces Sharpened up with a flick of the strimmer…. Blow & a Rake…

Tuesday – Status Red, Carry if able. Green’s getting a festive Trimm…. not for grass but mainly to collect any debris as growth has properly shut down now. As growth has slowed right up, its out with another slow release Granular to perk them up but not generate any new fleshy growth that encourages disease.…

Monday – Status “All Carry” Greens rolled to press out yesterday’s essential Spray on the Greens. Daily Setup Tasks. Course Ditches getting Brush cut. More Course Furniture being made.

Tuesday – Status Green, Start from the 10th. Green’s Rolled. Daily Task’s knocked off. Big push for more blowing of leaves. Back packs from the intricate area’s and moved to the nore roomy area for the Tractor to take over 💪 Long grasses all cut and all Tree’s strimmed round, so time to pick up…

Monday – Status Green. Green’s nipped. Pins swapped to last week’s spiked 🟥 half’s. 🟩 half’s now getting a spike. Roll of the same halfs. Daily setup task’s. Nice and dry with a welcome breeze to dry out some sand applied to some of the stickier Tee’s. Best day for it 👌 Spike over the…
