Winter work
This winter Roger’s staff, who all hold chainsaw certificates, will continue with their tree-thinning programme, with approximately thirteen hectares of woodland plantation to thin out leaving the better quality trees to mature. All branches are chipped on site and stored for future use around the course. Bunker work will be ongoing with the
replacement of some drainage and the upgrade of the blinding material between drainage stone and bunker sand. Some bunkers, now classed as ‘out of play’, will be filled in and new ones added and brought more into modern play areas. After last year’s wet weather, and the
problems it caused with some parts of the course flooding, a programme of installing new surface water drains will also be undertaken this winter.
The work will be done with whizzwheel type sand bands. After trialing other equipment Roger feels this is the best way to enable them to link into the existing drainage stone at 250mm and lateral drains laid at 10-15 metre centres. Having walked the course, and seeing first hand the dedication and passion Roger and his staff have, it is easy to understand why it is in such excellent condition. For a course barely sixteen years old it seems to have matured beyond its years. Roger is clearly still on his ‘mission’.
