Dear Members
 
Some information regarding hole 4 next week. The 4^th hole will be closed for approximately 1 week, with hole 19 being used as a replacement. The reason for closing the 4^th is so we can install drainage and a new cart path. The drainage system we shall install is the same as we used on the top half of fairway 1 which has been a great success. This project is very much weather dependent as we need dry weather to proceed.

Hole 19 will remain closed this week. We closed the hole last week for practicing due to unnecessary damage caused by hundreds of unrepaired ball marks.

Our putting greens have recieved quite heavy traffic lately, and they both need time to recover from this. Putting green Vestmork will be closed for a few days, while we ask that Putting green Østmork only be used for warm-up before play. Any focused putting practise will hav to take place on the artificial green for the next few days. I would ask that everyone please respect these closures, although not ideal the use on them has been intense and they are showing signs of wear. 

Jobs completed and ongoing are:

• Adding fresh bunker sand on Østmork, 60 tons was finished last week, the final 30 tons will be finished today.
• Granular fertiliser will be applied to greens today.
• Installation of a driving range platform, last piece and finishing touches tomorrow.
• Successful hosting of the Srixon tour and junior training camp.
• Divoting fairways.
• Various cutting and maintenance.

This week’s Grass Cutting heights:
Greens: 3,5 mm
Tees and Approaches: 8mm
Fairways: 12mm
Semi: 21mm
Rough: 57mm
 
Be back soon with another update.
Best Regards
Duncan and Team.
