We have recently completed the bunker renovations on the 4th,including the addition of a strip of heather between the two approach bunkers (above). Heather shouldn't naturally grow on this site (because of the high pH of our soil), so we have added ericasious compost in this area to help the heather to grow. Should this prove successful we could see more heather on other parts of the course.

We have also been digging soakaways into many of the greenside bunkers that drained poorly over the winter. The above is the soakaway in the front bunker on the 2nd green. The soakaways are dug to a depth of approx 2 metres, back-filled with 70mm shingle, covered with astroturf (to stop the stone contaminating the sand) and then topped up with sand.
