January 2019

 Happy New Year to all the Members from the Greenstaff. 

4/1/19. Fallen trees behind 16th tee on Hawkshill . These have been cut up and area cleared up.

11/1/19. Re turf work beside 5th green on Hawkshill. This is the walk off area going to 6th tee. 

11/1/19. Forest trees right of 14th green have been falling onto the course giving us a lot of extra work, on the plus side more wind and sunlight is what the course needs .

21/1/19. This is 11th green on Hawkshill . Frost under the surface causes any rain water to lay on the top surface . Main reason why the frost is prolonged in this area  is that there is a lack of sunlight and air getting through . So to solve this issue we need to clear some tree areas to get the right conditions. 

21/1/19. Right hand side of 11th green Hawkshill is the first plantation to be thinned out.

25/1/19. Right of 12th box tee Hawkshill, this is the same plantation .

24/1/19. Already light is now finding a way through .

4/1/19. 3 Trees at the 9th hole on Hawkshill that have been dead for over a year had to be felled on safety grounds . From the bottom tee this has opened up the hole a fair bit .

14/1/19. All 15 target greens on the range now completed, they are going to be rolled every week until opening to firm them up.

30/1/19. Back of 11th green on Hawkshill getting thinned out. 

31/1/19. Now working on the right of 14th tee on Hawkshill towards 13th green.
