Fogbound in Guernsey means an unplanned overnight stay and an early flight out tomorrow morning. Too early for a hotel breakfast so the Cobo Bay Hotel has very kindly provided a continental brekky in advance this evening. Might have the Corn Flakes now!

The going is officially soft!

On site to check the setting out of the new 1000m2 putting green for JCB Golf & Country Club, with John Greasley Ltd on the levers. Cold, wet and very muddy. Just lovely!

Half an hour later PortstewartGolfClub - sunshine but still 40mph wind. Beautiful but cool.

David MacLaren sinking a decent putt and celebrating long before it actually dropped!

Partner appreciation day PortstewartGolfClub “Come and play” they said. This was one of my partners teeing off in, let’s just say, ‘inclement weather’?

🌧️ ❄️ ☀️ 💨

⛳Hole 1️⃣1️⃣ is a relatively strong par 5 you might challenge during your experience on #MontgomerieMaxxRoyal championship course. You need to be both long and accurate through the pine trees. a raised green will make your approach decisive. Enjoy! #lovegolf

It’s the end of shift, so using the time when the site isn’t as busy to re-level the haul road so we’re good to go from Monday 💪🏻

Trying to put some shape back into 30+ year old bunkers. It helps that I knew them from the original construction phase.
