The next phase of work is to upgrade the three red grit paths. The paths of six, seven and eight will be boarded and tarmaced like the others on the course. This will be a great upgrade. It doesn't improve the playing surface directly, but will continue to make the golf course look and feel much better.
Drainage work around the first green will really help the playabilityof this green surround all year round. We have now drained and gravel banded the right hand side of the greens, verticored the back, topdressed and seeded it all hopefully with today's rain it will all recover very well in time for winter.
More work to help create a better course for the winter at Bearwood Lakes. Next stop is the 11th green surround.
We did some preliminary work today and look what we found.
Irrigation install moled through the drainage. Great!!!!!
This is original drainage and the damage a fairway install can bring. I think there are hundreds of these to find. Oh well, we have all winter!!!
Seventeen mil of rain overnight. Good job we have spent the last two years on drainage. It will make a great difference.
The latest work has been some gravel banding on the right hand side of the first green. This area was always wet and now with the removal of the gorse, a main added and now some gravel banding this area should be much better, especially for you slicers!!!
