Today marked the fourth day preparing Baltray for the East of Ireland Tournament. Finally, it was not spent with a string trimmer in my hand the whole afternoon!

I started off the morning with a good leg stretcher as they say, by mowing half of the tee boxes on the course. Only two workers are sent out to walk mow the tees. I think it is a good idea as we rotate among the workers for this long tee mowing adventure. Today we were burning in the lines getting them ready for the weekend.

The tee mowing journey was nearly 12 miles. a good leg stretcher

Supt. Paul Malone said, "Instead of leaving your wheels behind and going back, take them with you!"

Tea break is taken after the tee mowing where I get time to relax and food to refuel. The long afternoon will be spent leveling and re-shaping sand bunkers. Gerad Shevlin and I routed the course for this task.

The wind moves the sand up the face of the bunkers. We were taking the displaced sand and moving it back to the low spots.

Not as much play today from golfers which was great, allowing us to finish all the bunkers. With tomorrow mornings full rake they will be class for the tournament!
