Its no surprise that January 2014  was our wettest January since 1998 when our rainfall records began with a total of 130mm during the month.The Met office stated that its been the wettest January since there records began in the South East. This  wet weather has certainly caused some issues especially in the high traffic areas around tees and greens.

heavy rainfall in the car park with not many customers in sight

flooded bunkers

puddles

wash outs on paths

mud on traffic areas

 

hopefully the sun will shine ,the grass will grow and with our turf management programmes  in operation the course condition will change to how we remember  a golf course looking

 

We contacted Thornden Park G.C. who allowed us to dig up some of there Laurel shrubs from out of there woods so that we could plant them to create a screen over our compound area
