A new area completed this week @TheHomeofGolf . The creation of a vertical face on the sand dune that will hopefully become a new habitat for our seasonal Sand martins that will utilise this area for nesting.

75 bunker rebuilds and still smiling!🙂
An incredible effort from the #OldCourse team concluding with the mighty Cottage Bunker this week.

@NBGCGreens @TheHomeofGolf @BarenbrugUK We were using sand dyed green with seed mixed through it. But now just using seed only. Adding the seed to the pitch mark and repair it.

This season we altered the way we repaired pitch marks at #Castlecourse. And the results have been excellent! @TheHomeofGolf @BarenbrugUK #fescue #recovery

@greig_easton @TheHomeofGolf @BarenbrugUK Just adding seed to the pitch mark the poking it into the mark then using hole scissors to repair the mark. Nothing fancy!
