Cattle damage

Just before Christmas we had a visit from some cattle that had escaped from the town marsh.  Unfortunately they chose to have a wander on the newest and most delicate turf on site - the new 3rd green and 4th tee on the river course.  The damage was quite extensive but after a big effort from the greenkeeping team the green was playable by the end of the day.  The hoof prints were like massive pitch marks and each one had to be gently teased back to the correct level.

The entire green looked like this!

There was more damage on the bank where skidding hooves cut grooves in the turf
