Fence Repairs

The fence near the 7th hole...

Our intrepid fencing team have repaired the fencing to the right of the 7th hole that was damaged when the buggy shed was broken into. They have repaired the fence behind the 4th tee as well.


The leak between the 4th tee and the 3rd green has now been repaired, the water should now start to disappear...

...and behind the 4th tee

Plant pots needed

A mixture of young ash,sycamore, rowan and maple trees ready to plant on the course late 2012 

Trees ready for planting late 2012. All these trees have been rescued from gardens around York.
Chestnuts and oaks have been grown from seed for future planting on plke hills

George, one of our greenkeepers is busy "rescuing" unwanted trees from gardens and growing them on for planting at Pike Hills when they are mature enough.
He is also growing a number of trees from seed,  these pictures show how much he has achieved so far.


BUT!!


PLEASE HELP George by leaving any unwanted large plant pots (like the type in the pictures) over at the greenkeepers shed

Better weather!

You can see by the angle of the sun how early the lads start...

Now that a bit of better weather has arrived we can get on with some of the jobs that need doing, today we are top dressing the greens, including the winter greens

Mark on the 2nd green first thing in the morning

And here we see Julian cutting the fairways this morning

Early in the morning

Out on the course early in the morning, before any golfers are about and the wildlife come out to play, this deer was spotted this morning on the 7th hole, and the early morning balloonists had a good view of the greenstaff going about their work...
