Update
Sorry it has been a while we have had some problems logging in but Adam seems to have got it sorted we hope!!!!
Anyway lots have happened since last time

 The greens as you are well aware are recovering from the work that was done in October and we were very disappointed not to get them all filled but after the warmest September we had the Wettest October Mother Nature Hey!!
This however keep the greens open during this very wet period we are constantly monitoring the greens for disease as this warm wet weather is perfect conditions for fusarium.
We are very disappointed to see the amount of Pitch Marks and Divots on the greens lately can we sort this out please.
If we ALL look after the course you will reap the benefits next season.
We have have started the paths on several holes which will be completed as soon as conditions allow.
LEAVES we try our hardest to put leaves in areas we have put cages on the course to house the leaves these are Immovable obstructions and should be treated accordingly but this is a war of attrition and we will endeavor to keep on top of this.
7th we have undertaken a program to reduce and help the trees here this on going and should help with a variety of issues.
16TH Hole 
Contractors will grade the mound in between the 6th Tee and the 16th Fairway before finishing with top soil and seed.
the Ridge in the fairway will be topped up with Topsoil to create a more gradual slope this will help with play ability and maintenance this will be finished with Turf.
 We appreciate your help and understanding and I am sure that once finished will add to the hole not detract from it.  
The Spiker that many of you will have seen around has been purchased and will add to the continual improvement of the greens working along side the Greens Iron and Verti Cutters already Purchased early on this year.
We have also brought a Bunker Master which again lots of you have seen and also commented on this with the addition of Sand to some bunkers had a marked effect before the wet weather set in.
Once again Thanks for your Support and your understanding in what are trying conditions for Greenkeepers
Cheers
