Out on the courses we have been busy with a number of scrub and woodland projects. We have also felled and burnt a number of Elm trees that had been identified by Edinburgh Council as infected with Dutch Elm Disease. The diseased Elms have been removed to prevent the spread of the disease and to minimise risks to public safety.
The right-hand green-side bunker at the 12th green has now been re-positioned and new drainage installed. When ground conditions improve the final shaping and grading works will be completed and the bunker and surrounding area made ready for turfing.
We have also been repairing and rebuilding some of the collapsed boundary walls on the course and are at present tidying and resurfacing some of the paths and walkways.
At the halfway house we have finished landscaping the area between the facility and the 16th tee and are at present erecting more fencing to screen the patio area.
To ensure that the course, balcony and halfway house benches and tables are in the best possible condition for the new season they have all been power washed, sanded down, re-furbished and received several wood treatments.
In the workshop, the maintenance and servicing of our extensive range of machinery and equipment continues. Regular in-house servicing not only improves reliability and performance but also improves longevity and keeps residual values of machines high for trading in.
Tee furniture, flag pins, hole cups and all other course accessories are being prepped and made ready for repainting, to ensure they are in pristine condition for the start of the new playing season. The welfare facilities walls and woodwork have also been washed down and are now at present being painted.
