 One of two new bunkers left of 1st fairway put

 into existing mounds as a visual effect to define

 the 1st hole.

 Revamped bunker on right hand side on 1st

 green, has had new drainage installed.

 Revamped bunker on right hand side of

 17th green, has been made slightly smaller and

 has new drainage.

The Tru-Turf iron is a self-propelled unit that is operated by pedals and a joy stick. Rolling is a quick and

efficient operation that requires one operator and takes no longer to complete than mowing greens. Ironing

alone does not produce quick smooth surfaces, but is the final piece of the jigsaw in a good cultural 

programme that includes aeration, scarifying, verti cutting and top-dressing.
