Loch Brahan

On my last entry I said that there was a puddle on the first fairway that would need some drainage works. Well unfortunately it has now grown into a full blown water feature which has been christened Loch Brahan...pictured below. Elsewhere on the course, Jon has borrowed some sheep from the farm next door to trim back some of the rough. With the weather having turned much colder, he is hoping to do the last cut of the season any time now and put the mower to bed for the winter.

Long Overdue Update

A bit of a break from the blog as I have been quite busy recently with various bits and pieces including a trip up north to see Jon & Claudia. Even though it has only been a couple of months since we saw the course, we could see plenty of progress. The picture was taken in August looking back down the first fairway towards the tee and the ninth green. All the tufty bits of grass have now gone and the fairways look great. The only problem is a rather large puddle roughly where my children are standing that will need a drainage solution. This has been caused by a deluge of rain during the last few weeks. I have some new pictures to upload over the next few weeks and look out for details of the family cesspit project!
