With the onset of winter work certainly hasn't slowed down. The course has gone from strength to strength with the implementation of correct mowing, renovation and nutrition plans. So much so, over summer, we hosted a large charity event, an open and a pro-am tournaments.
Last winter was all about servicing current machines and recommissioning machinery from the graveyard of "too hard" that the previous crew had given up on.
This winter has been spent on the course. We've been building a couple of new tee's, re shaping and installing new bunkers, revegetating and tree lopping.
I was out this week tidying, hard, dry, stumps from trees lost long ago ready for stump grinding.
I've been using, what I think is the most versatile saw on the market, the Stihl MS271. From light pruning to cutting stumps its more saw most of us will ever need.

I've also been giving one of our tractors a bit of love in my spare time, I'm half way through this old JD giving it a cut and polish. We were caught in the rain the other day and it did make me smile when it started beading, I better get onto the other half next week
