JHTaylor front-nine reconstruction


And so it begins!  Already the 7th green and surrounds are excavated and reduced to a working-area.  

MJAbbott move on-site and the existing front-nine greens, greenside bunkers and greens surrounds quickly start to disappear.


Upon arrival an immediate start is made creating the new wetlands in the carry at the 8th.  This new hazard, allied with new Taylor-mounds up at the greenside, will compensate for the redesign of a bunkerless hole.


Golf Course Architect, Martin Ebert - not to be confused with the RMS Head Greenkeeper Doug Tate in the shorts - watches over MJAbbott shapers as the 8th green and surrounds take shape.  Work continues in the sub-base to the architects plans in advance of installing drainage and gravel-carpet.

MJAbbott shapers make final adjustments to the movement towards the back of the green.  An off-plan adjustment is made to ensure available pin-positions on a defined shelf at the back-right of the green.  



Final grading in the green bases in readiness for authorisation by the architect and installation of drainage.
