We are still adding to our list of equipment - today's addition was a 4 stroke blower for getting rid of the grass our of the engines etc of the two ride on mowers - much needed as they are clogging up on a regular basis at the moment. Will also be of help to get rid of the excess grass etc out of the sheds - quick and easy clean up.
Reading the instruction book is a surprise - you would think that you are handling a lethal weapon with all of the safety instructions that they give you - and you would end up being kitted out like a space cadet into the bargain. While I am all for safety - I am not for spending half the day getting in and out of excess clothing just to blow away some grass!!
Tom spent most of his day out in the sunshine working on the fairways - it is very slowly starting to come together - this weekend the pace will be quicker with an experienced tractor driver in charge giving us some much needed help. After two days of three of us working our buns off we should be able to see some real progress.
Tom is getting used to the new way of mowing - the zero turn in vastly different in the steering and it takes some getting used to - his first efforts were like a duck on drugs! meandering all over the place but now his aim is more sure and the tracks he leaves in his wake are starting to show signs of straightness!!!
We have finished most of the initial work on 9 fairway and have started on 12 fairway - much heavier going with the type of grassing different and that is making a huge difference in our ability to get through it and get it under control - more times through it before it becomes properly mown but we are still seeing progress every single day which is great!
