Supplementary cultural practices - greens and aprons

In order to carry out some course work on the greens and aprons, 9 of the 18 holes on the course were closed on Monday and Tuesday. The front nine on Monday and the back nine on Tuesday.

The procedure was as follows :

- cut with a triplex mower
