The past week has proved productive even if we have had to work around the frosts very cold temperatures, lets hope we have some warmer weather around the corner!

Work on the 5th Highgate has progressed well with the completion of the right hand side and the contouring and shaping completed on the left hand side. Next week should see us complete the turfing of the left hand side and then it will be a case of managing the establishment of all areas prior to the coming season.

The picture above shows the initial ground works and first phase of shaping the new features on the left hand side. Below is a picture of the same area once we have raked and prepared the area for turf.

You can clearly see the bunker at the top of the picture and the new swale to the front of the bunker.

Work has also progressed well on the 9th Lodge with all contouring now prepared for turf and heather. The two pictures below show the heather turf being positioned on the mounding to the right of the hole.



Other work completed this week includes continuing with verti draining Highgate 1-9 fairways, lightly scarifying fairways to remove debris and divots. We have also pedestrian cut all greens today at 5.5mm.
