UPDATE ON COURSE DEVELOPMENT WORKS

Following the adoption of Motion ‘A’ at the SGM in August,advantage was taken of the good weather in September to make a significant start on the implementation of some of the proposals.

The new shape of the ‘Tank’ has been largely established with some additional minor filling required on the 7th fairway side – this will be carried out when weather conditions are suitable.As it has been infilled his area will be left to settle for some weeks before final shaping,topsoiling and sodding.That area of the ‘Tank’ alongside the 12th fairway will be completed over the next few weeks when an essential irrigation pipeline is installed to replace that removed as part of reshaping works.However much will depend on weather and ground conditions as we will not be transporting soil from where it is currently stored in the practise area if this caused damage to the course.

Work has also progressed well on the construction of the eight new bunkers approved .As expected some rock has been encountered but this will not be a problem – a rock breaker attachment for our own small excavator will solve matters.It is proposed to excavate all eight bunkers initially to ascertain nature of the underlying substrata and how they react to significant rainfall.
It is hoped to have all bunkers completed before the end of the year but it will be some time before they can be brought into play ( a major disappointment no doubt !).

Construction of new tees at the Ladies 2nd; mens 7th and 13th is unlikely to start until the new year and the planting /mounding at the 14/16th fairways is targeted for early spring again dictated by weather and soil conditions.
Expenditure to date on all of the works has been less than 3000 euro.

The large excavator and dumper which were on hire for 13 working days were hired at very competitive rates and our own staff operated these plant items.The cost of labour is not included in the 3k as these costs are incurred irrespective of any development works.

A further update will be provided before the end of the year and the understanding and patience of members during whatever disruption is caused is much appreciated.
