The vagaries of the local climate meant we had a slow and steady 5mm on Tuesday with South Essex 9 miles down the road having 22mm land on the course in as many minutes.  The course has perked up after this rain and greens have coloured up with the help of 8mm solid-tines on Monday, allowing improved water penetration.

Willows on the course are having a hair cut at the moment which always looks slightly daft but having them so close to play means we need to manage them to some degree.

A short back and sides please!
