You can definitely tell its summer.  46mm of rain on Thursday the wettest June we've ever had and lots of growth.  A few pictures below of the reason the course is not great.  Bunkers will all be GUR for the next few days while the water level drops.  Everything else is just OK not really good enough but that's flaming June for you.  Long roughs have now been cut to there normal summer position although very thick rough is going to be an issue for at least a few weeks until hot weather arrives.

Priors bunding is beginning to see some definition.  Mounding behind the 6th and 12th green is nearly finished and the new 13th Tee is weeks away from seeding. 
As well as this, new irrigation has been run to the 6th and 12th green

This week Abbotts greens are being verti-cut, solid-tined and topdressed, this together with brushing of the surface will finally see the greens move into summer mode and will begin improving fast.
