Fixing paths and bunkers

In the last few weeks the green staff have been fixing a number of the ends of paths. This is to stop the gravel from the paths continually washing onto the start of the fairways. Some couch grass has been acquired and this is being used to turf some of these areas. Paths that have been attended to so far are the 16th, 7th, 8th and 4th. A number of others will also be fixed where gravel washing onto the start of the fairway is an issue.

The paths and bunkers have taken a beating over the last couple of weeks with 2 solid downpours of around 40 mm each which have washed out paths and turned bunkers into swimming pools. The amount of time spent attending to the paths and bunkers has been huge over the last couple of months with a number of large downpours over the Christmas period. Looks like there is more rain on the way tonight. Let's hope it isn't too much.
