Progress


Despite the horrible weather, progress is going very well on the bunkers on 16. The bunker on the left is finished and we have started putting the sand in, which should be finished today. The Blinder bunker liner is excellent and has allowed us to get the bunker completed even in the poorest of weathers.


The bunker on the right hand side of 16 is much more complicated. We have had to prune the tree roots from the lime to stop the encroaching into the bunker, drain the pond and the area all around the bunker which traditionally lies very wet and also drain the bunker and install a soil liner to compensate for the poor, stony soil.

The project is very nearly completed but the wet conditions have prevented us going any further. The revet edge is in and the base is completed. We will now reshape the bunker noses and wait till some drier weather to final grade and turf the bunker and firm the base.

  1. I taught all levels of greenkeeeping and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. During this time I completed the first stage of my teacher training and completed my A1 and V1 assessor training. After two years I moved to take on the position of Golf Course Manager at Bearwood Lakes Golf Club. During this time I have completed a Masters Degree in Sports Surface Technology. I have also achieved a Master Greenkeeper status which is one of the most highly recognised qualifications in the golf industry. The golf club has also achieved similar success during my time there. We have won an award for environmental performance and have been consistently ranked in the Top 100 golf courses in the UK. golf stat tracker
