Lads have been doing a great job whilst I'm in sunny Blackpool. It's great to know I can have a few days off and the course is in good hands. The greens spray yesterday added a bit of colour and vigor but was specifically targeting the potential heat stress over the next few days

With Fin being on holiday all that was left was the 4 cantankerous, arthritic, medicated old men. Rubbish weather at the start of the week but to say I'm proud of what my lads have achieved is an understatement.

VLGC Professional Shop is definitely staying, he's bought a sign 🀣 the slight smugness on the face is after he gave me a playing lesson on the GC quad and I shoot 2 over and he beats me by 8.

Course open, greens are frosting over and as of yesterday they weren't fully unfrozen. Buggies off today. Captain's drive in at 11 am with food at 12.30 so let's welcome Huw and Rayhanneh in style.

We're bringing back the old 3rd tee as an additional side project. The reason being that the conifers by the new 3rd tee/ RHS 2nd will require a large scale project at some point. It's been redesigned at the back to remove the erosion issue and allow a buggy track in the future.

Great job done by Lee VLGC Professional Shop on the retreads for my irons, since turning semi pro on the simulator they've been requiring attention. All lofts and lies checked by Greg for the start of the season, surprised how far some were out.

Greens solid tined, a complete course cut, a couple of hand mows, course tidying, 1st green fettling (open next Saturday), approaches fertilised, course tidying, bunkers strimmed and edged and a lot of base work on paths this week. At one stage the sun shone.

All you need is an ex HGV driver on your team to get the paths nice and flat. We're cracking on with surfacing for the next few days.

Busy Monday, greens hand mown, bunkers raked. Fairways lowered by another 5mm so they are ready to be cylinder cut again, approaches cut. Another old dumping ground cleaned out and prep work for the path 100 yards from the 3rd green had begun as it will alleviate the traffic wear

The A team has done an unbelievably good job on the area around the halfway house. Both Peter and Jason have put hours into the project. After today it will be finishing and tidying the surrounding area. Thanks to Andy Brown for the donation of materials.
