DOG SHIT

Who can tell me the people who chuck dog shit bags onto the course, at the side of the 7th path.

These people need a firm hand or even a firing squad of dog shit being chucked at them.

See how they like it.

Comments welcome on this subject.

31st March the sun is out

Here are some photos i took earlier.


New bunker on RHS 1st. 1st tee Chris teeing off. 9th tee looking to clubhouse.

Plugging work

Hi to you all






Plugging work that the greenstaff have been doing over the last month or so.
This is where we get the plugs from to do the work on the greens.

Star of the month

Worker of the month is this stud muffin.

What do you think.

He has started on a high again, one minute he has a flymo in his hand then the strimmer.This lad is a good worker and needs telling so.

Ditches

The ditch on the 8th seems to be working well, looking at the amount of water running down it.



We have had 63 mm of rain in 7 days from 24th March to 31st March.

Sanding of Sign for 11th tee

Here are some photos of the Course board that was Vandalised a while ago, being sanded and then painted for the season.

Good work Lads

These guys are very experienced at sanding and painting.

He looks a hard worker
More woodland work has been done this week along the ditch on the 6th. If anybody wants any logs come up the hardcore track up to the trailers near the sheds and pick some up.
All chainsawing will stop now until the chainsaw masicure returns.

He is having a well earned holiday.

All logs have been taken now SORRY.

Bat & Bird boxes

Hi everybody

Just letting you know we have built 10 new bat boxes for the course and 3 that are already out at the back of the 6th green. We have also built about 20 bird boxes over the last 2 years and have had great results.
Here are some of the bat boxes.

New member to the team

Hi everybody I am the new member of staff,
I will be working closely with all the greenkeeping staff.
Hope to see you all on the course.

Vandels again

Hello to you all

The vandels were back last night they took down the gate on the 2nd and drove in and skidded around the back of the 2nd green in the bunker and then drove back out over the gate.

We have now fixed the gate so it can't be lifed off its hinges, I wonder where they will strike next.

Bunker work and snow

This is the lads having fun on Friday when the snow came.














These are some of the bunkers we have been working on 9th green and 6th green.

Vandels on the course

The vandels came on the course last friday and made a lot of mess, they smashed one of the course signs off the 11th tee, trampled some gorse plants, chucked a divot bin in the 7th pond, pulled out some young trees and chucked tee markers all over the place.
It seems to only happen on a Friday, hope this weekend they stayed away.

Water on 18th fairway

Well its here again the salt water from the sea.
The last few days the tide has come up the drainage pipe and watered the 18th fairway.

Snow

Hi everybody well what a day, we all went sledging this afternoon and snowball fighting, bet you are all very tired now.

Not seen snow for quite a while at the golf course.
I bet you are glad you are not working this weekend.
