Since last week we have been focusing on clearing all the autumn leaves from the drainage ditches.
This is quite a labour intensive job and very time consuming and our head greenkeeper believes that the drainage ditches should actually be piped and covered. I understand this point of view, but I also believe that these ditches provide habitat for certain fauna, particularly frogs and dragonflies. They also provide an opportunity to create ponds around the course that could enhance aesthetics, create added challenge and interest to the golfer and possibly invite biodiversity.
