New yellow/ red tee at the 13th hole. This is one of the new forward tees that are being put in to shorten the yellow and red courses.

Work has begun digging the foundations for the new machinery store at links farm.

Work being done on the hollows to the right of the 3rd green. After recent construction these hollows have settled and are now proving difficult to cut and maintain. We have stripped the turf and will up fill the low areas with new root zone. This will smooth out the contours and make maintenance easier. We have added around 12inches to the bottom of the hollows to re contour them.

Mini hollow tining work on the 15th and 18 greens. These are small diameter tines that remove small cores. This has been done to remove a small quantity of organic matter from the turf surface. After a roll with the turf iron there is minimal disturbance to the putting surface.

Hollow tining work being carried out on greens 2,3,4,12 to remove some organic matter from the turf surface. As these greens were lifted and re-laid last year we have not done as much aeration work to them over the past two years. A Humic acid product will be applied into the holes which will give some added nutrient to the sandy root zone. The core diameter was 16mm which has removed a lot of material from the surface.

Newly reverted bunker on right of 16th fairway. The angle of the face has been softened and a small set of steps will be put in to make access easier

Air 2 g 2 machine working on the putting green. This machine penetrates the ground to 11 inches and the shatters the underlying hard pan using compressed air. The tines have a series of holes for the air to be released. This will create several fissures in the soil that will allow for better drainage and also supply the roots with some much needed oxygen. The beauty of this machine is there is very little disturbance to the surface. A single roll with the turf iron returns the surface to normal.
