Easter foursomes course update.
Greens, tees, aprons, approaches, fairways and semi rough have been cut today and we're ready to go for the Easter weekend. The new 1st and 6th tees will be in play and the 8th hole will be played from the championship tee. The newly turfed area behind the 7th green is also in play. All of the newly turfed areas are still quite delicate so please keep practice swings and traffic to a minimum. Over the weekend the greens will be cut and rolled daily if weather conditions are suitable (frost is still a possibility). We'll ease off on the rolling if green speeds get too high, they were 9ft 8in today with no roll and if it stays dry things could get silly! There is rain forecast for Friday night which the course desperately needs as we've gone three weeks without any rain. The holes will be changed on Friday, Saturday and Monday and the bunkers will be raked every morning.
