Last winter we had a break from bunkers, rebuilding the putting green.
Back on the bunker trial again this winter. Late start but better late than never. Basic re-shape almost ready for rubber crumb base.

March is here, spring is on its way and hopefully the rain will end soon and we will all be out on the course.
Our playing members are lucky to have use of our upgraded floodlit, covered driving range to practice regardless of the rain!

A mild winter day can be a great chance to play golf, but there is a risk of serious course damage if the surface thaws and soil is frozen below. Footsteps or cart traffic can cause soil to slide, damaging grass roots. Learn more about the risk of root shear. #GSRrewind

Well, a difficult period for all working outside. This winters project taken on by the team @LongAshtonGolf after a few issues with start dates etc has proved a tough one. The re-construction of the push-up putting green to a “USGA” spec has not been easy. 276mm of rain so far! – at South West, England
Synchronised team work from the @MJAbbottLtd team installing primary drainage on the 7th hole @LongAshtonGolf. Tidy work gentlemen 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
A busy day out on the course @LongAshtonGolf scarifying all greens to 10mm followed up by @A_smithy7 on the @ToroGolf procore 648. Simon Kew on the Remedix core collector ably helped by a great bunch of members our GM @Reeciemiller and our F&B manager Glenn MacNaughton thanks all
And so it starts, the winter projects are under way. @MJAbbottLtd in putting primary drainage on the 7th hole and secondary drainage on the 6th. In-house putting green re-build, course maintenance on the horizon and a few bunkers to re-design and build. Fairways to over-seed etc! – at South West, England
A massive thank you to my fantastic team whom I couldn’t be more proud of @LongAshtonGolf your passion and commitment to produce the course the way you do is a credit to you all.
