Daily Tasks.

Tee signage with hole yardages etc are being gradually removed. Don't panic, they aren't being stolen.... just being sent away to be refurbished as the calibre of the Sleeper the Company used weren't to our standards and are weathering a bit too fast! Frustratingly..... we put these in a lil too well that they need some serious effort breaking the cement around the bases 😆

Yesterday's maintenance practice run to the Practice Green's was a success.... however the sand took over 6hrs to dry before we could sweep it in 🥱 😴

Remaining Fairway's Sprayed.

Fertiliser mixing pump failed yesterday, showing how much of a time saver this method has been over the years. Mixing a tank each time takes over 8 hours to spray all the Fairway's, but using our in house made Fertiliser mixer it reduces the job to 5 hours!

Now to repair the pump ready for the next Fairway treatment 🔧
