Looking back over the last few
winters the month of December has either delivered the course snow or sub zero
temperatures.
Last December
when we were installing the new drainage pipe-work at the 10th hole, severe ground frosts and surface ice
continually hampered operations.

| December 2012 - Ice Bound |
Fast-forward twelve months,
because of the mild weather and favourable ground conditions we were able to
mow and lightly top-dressed the greens with sand this week.
We have also been busy excavating
new drainage ditches in the practice ground and have commenced upgrading the
drainage network outlet behind the greenkeeping facilities.
Excellent progress is also being
made to the upgrading of the irrigation system at the 3rd & 8th
tees. This project, when completed, will improve the water flow and coverage to
the 3rd & 8th teeing grounds.
This week we have also started landscaping
and slabbing the patio area around the new toilets / halfway house at the 10th.
