After a mammoth effort at the end of May, the greens are finally finished...hurrah! Claudia and Jon have put in some very long hours, often starting at six in the morning and not finishing until late in the evening. Seeding the greens took several days as a narrow spreader was used due to the contours of the land which meant that Jon had to do 5 passes on each green in order to lay down the correct amount of seed. He estimates a walking distance of around 9 kilometres per green and on one day alone seeded four...almost a marathon. Needless to say the lad is shattered but really pleased with the results. Meanwhile, Claudia has been mowing the fairways and absolutely loves this task. At the end of last month, they were able to take a few days off and come south to West Yorkshire for a bit of well deserved R&R. Jon has now returned to the Highlands but Claudia is staying on for a couple more weeks to spend some time with Jon's mum.
Apologies there aren't any new course pictures to add this this time but Jon hasn't had much spare time to send them to me yet.
