Work is progressing nicely with the reconstruction of the 9th green and its surrounding features.
The majority of the approach area has now been returfed with the harvested grass from the fairway, approach bunker shaped and final shaping and turfing of the green is now complete.
A new valve-in-head irrigation system has been installed to service the green and this will allow for individual control of each sprinkler.
A final irrigation station is be installed to allow irriagtion of green surrounds and final turfing of the surround and shaping of the greenside bunker shall be completed next week.
On another note I received a surprise visit from Ron Pease the first Greenkeeper of the club way back in the early 70's. Ron took a look over the course, we exchanged a few stories and was impressed about how far we had come.
