             Green surround and bunkers on the 1st @ormskirkgc finished. Drainage installed, levels raised considerably and totally reshaped to allow wider surround cuts and a manageable playable area in winter! Many thanks for the work as always.

             Big thanks to @RobMarchbank & @FairhavenGolf. First time for me taking on two jobs at the same time. Ian doing a great job on tee and path construction at fairhaven, working closely with Rob while I'm busy elsewhere. Great teamwork what it's all about going forwards!
