I was going to try and not mention the weather after a fairly uneventful week but the forecast doesn't look good for the weekend, and it depends on who you listen to as to the expected ferocity.  It certainly sounds like we are going to get some serious wind as well as some rain.  I think the movement of the system is a little unpredictable at this stage so it's a wait and see.  

One thing we won't be using this weekend is the new irrigation system!!  The installation of 1W green and the nursery green area occurred this week so now all sprinklers are in the ground and it's time for a clean up and some rectifications and final adjustments to happen.  We will also be doing some work later in the month on repairing some of the damaged areas like at rear 4W green, RHS 16W green and front of 14W green as well as the soil stockpile areas.  There will also be a lot of repair work carried out when it's a bit warmer and the turf can establish a lot faster than at this time of year.  That will involve a lot of the buggy path entries and exits.  As part of the installation a specific sprinkler has been located to cover these areas in the hope of improving them  However given the massive amount of cart traffic we get I don't hold out much hope of holding a turf cover.   

The Vets week of golf is upon us again next week so here's hoping that the run with perfect weather they have had over the many years will continue.  Fingers crossed on that one that's for sure!!
