Winter Work Review - Tees

Two tee refurbs took place over the winter months. The 5th tee was extended and slightly reshaped. More space was added to the rear of the tee to provide extra spots for the white markers. This job took much longer than expected as we had to remove a fairly large quaitity of granite from beneath the surface before the new rootzone and turf could be added. We took the opportunity to replace the irrigation pipework and heads while the work was going on as this tee was not done with the rest of the system installation in 2007/8 The finished result made all the effort worthwhile.

The 10th tee also has a new surface. We levelled the existing teeing ground and slightly extended the red tee portion in order to improve this area.

The new turf on both surfaces is being maintained with longer grass than other tees while the new turf settles in. The grass length will gradually be mown shorter as the new turf matures.
