The aftermath of last nights rain. Almost all bunkers washed out. New 10inch sunken feature running across the 2nd fairway. Big flood on the 10th fairway. But apart from that the place is remarkably dry this morning. 17.2mm rain recorded in a two hours ⁦@BeechParkGolf⁩

Well that’s this morning’s sand top dressing washed in ⁦@BeechParkGolf⁩

Slight delay to play this morning @BeechParkGolf @PeterRussellGK

A nice bit of -minimal disruption- deep aeration for the greens this week. They were pencil tined directly ahead of the Air 2g2 process to prevent excessive lifting of the putting surface. Finishing off the process with a roll ahead of play. ⁦@BeechParkGolf⁩ ⁦

13th tee renovations going well so far. All old material removed✅. Sub base graded ✅. Old out flow drain tested and working✅. Tomorrow we pipe up the new drains and install the gravel carpet, followed by the rootzone mix. ⁦@BeechParkGolf⁩ ⁦@PeterRussellGK⁩

Great addition to the equipment fleet ⁦@BeechParkGolf⁩. Sometimes the pre-owned purchase option is too hard to turn down (a saving in the order of 50% on the price of new). ⁦@NoelBen72728629⁩ ⁦@DublinGrass⁩. Now if I could have another 5 for leaf season.

Out with the old, in with the new as the saying goes. The main part of the construction is now complete. Steps will be added at a later date and more Laurel will be removed to promote better air circulation. ⁦@BeechParkGolf⁩ ⁦@PeterRussellGK⁩ #inhouseconstruction

11th tee redevelopment. Day 5 rootzone in place on tees✅. Old rotten sleeper wall removed✅. Path altered✅. One more good day with the digger will have the site ready for final finishing work (fine tuning) before sodding. ⁦@BeechParkGolf⁩ ⁦@PeterRussellGK⁩

11th tee re development. Sub base graded✅. Drains installed✅. Gravel carpet installed✅. Now it’s time for the root zone to be added. Project going to plan so far. ⁦@BeechParkGolf⁩ ⁦@PeterRussellGK⁩

Day one completed on the long over due redevelopment of the 11th tee box. It will be a long week but the weather is looking good for it. Moving from a thrown together tee box to a full USGA spec construction method. ⁦@BeechParkGolf⁩ ⁦@PeterRussellGK⁩ #inhousebuild
