Short Game Practice Area Development

Blogging Resumes

I thought I would begin with a short up-date on the progress of the short game practice area development and also post some pictures.

The chipping greens sub-base has now been constructed and the greens perimeter drainage installed. The drainage grit layer, which is a 2 mm to 6 mm diameter stone will be spread over the sub-base early next week. This layer will stop the root-zone washing down and blocking the perimeter drain and prevent integration of the root-zone and the sub-base.

Next week we take delivery of the root-zone, which is approximately 240 tonnes. With the assistance of an outside contractor this should be spread over the chipping green by the end of the week. 

Some pictures of our progress:
