Grass snake on the 7th fairway
Views of grass snakes are usually brief but today one decided to cross the 7th fairway around midday. Most of the ones that we see are fairly small but this one was about 80cm long.

Cobwebs
It was misty and damp this morning and large areas of the gorse and long grass were covered in amazing cobwebs.

Overseeding
We're over seeding the greens this week to get more of the fine fescue grasses established. The greens will be hollow cored first, followed by over seeding and top dressing. The work will take a few days as the hollow coring and clearing up afterwards is a slow process. Our aim is to keep all of the greens in play and minimise the impact on members.
