Path through the woods

Because of the wetness of the course we're trying to avoid heavy traffic on it so the path through the bog has been re-stoned, this takes about 12 tonnes of stone to complete
Stone being brought in & laid

How the path looks now

Top dressing

A 30 tonne load of top dressing being delivered, this will cover all the greens once, weather permitting, we always aim to do a heavy top dressing in Spring to help true the greens up.

Shelter Painting

Phil Robertson taking advantage of a break in the weather to put a fresh coat of paint on one of the shelters
Once I've got it painted I can get my bed in there...
