4th tee
We're making the red and yellow tees on the 4th hole into one big tee on one level. Although the overall footprint of the tees is only being increased by a little we'll gain much more useable teeing area, (effectively doubling the size of the tee). We've stripped the turf and topsoil and made the slope on the left of the tee less steep to make access easier. The next stage is to install the irrigation and then the rootzone mix. The tee will be turfed in late February or early March and will be ready for play by mid to late summer.
