Greens Drainage Works, Autonomous Mower Demo
Greens Drainage Works – 1st & 4th Greens We are pleased to confirm that the PC drainage works on the 1st and 4th greens were successfully carried out today. The 1st green has already been backfilled and turfed and will return to play tomorrow (Saturday 7th November). The remaining reinstatement work on the 4th green will be completed on Monday, with the green returning to play on Tuesday 10th November. As members may recall from similar drainage works carried out on other greens, there will be some undulation in the putting surfaces whilst the drainage trenches settle. This is to be expected, and the surfaces will settle over the coming weeks. Thank you for your patience and understanding whilst these important improvements have been undertaken. Autonomous Mower Trial – Next Week Next week, we will be carrying out a trial of an autonomous mower as we explore new technologies that could potentially support our course maintenance operations in the future. The mower will be mapped to operate in areas around the chipping green and 1st tee, extending as far as the 17th and 18th holes. Members are asked to please be mindful of the mower if they encounter it operating on the course, allowing it sufficient space to carry out its work safely. This is a trial at this stage, and we look forward to assessing how the technology performs in a live course environment.
