COURSE AND NEW CLUBHOUSE NEWS
The first concrete pour on the roof was completed this week and next week the final pour will be made followed by erection of roof trusses to complete the structure.
The large stockpile of soil on the southern end of the new clubhouse will be spread out and backfilled against the building. The continued dry weather has enabled us to carry out works without rain delays and we are happy with the progress made to date.
On the course the new 12th green is almost complete and will be seeded next week. The new 13th green was seeded last Thursday and with the warmer ground conditions has already begun to shoot. The new 10th and 14th greens have had their first cut this week and are already being cut at 7mm. The new par 3 10th green should be in play in 2-3 weeks and this will require further navigation changes.
