Course set up at the moment is focusing on the Professional Trophy. The Abbotts is playing hard with tight fairways and narrow cut rough. Uncut rough is exactly the same width as last year but is significantly thinner due to the dryer spring this year. No long rough will be cut this or next week but after that we will monitor the weather and if need be will add a perimeter of rough cut a 5 inches. This weekends set up will vary from the norm with a move away from the usual A,B,C pin positions to series hand picked by the Pro. As I write he is fiendishly trying to find a way of placing the pin in the middle of the 18th pond.
During the week we have been tweaking heights around the course, the fairways have been lowered by 1mm to 15mm. The semi is now being cut with our old fairway mower, the height of the machine being raised to 30mm, this is giving a cleaner cut than our normal machine and with heavy rollers on the mower leaving better definition around the fairway.

Thank you for your comments, I am pleased with the overall improvements on the course particularly on the fairways but as ever the greens are still only 'good' and not as good as I want them. So plenty still to do.
