Final day: Red sky in morning, jobs well done...

Final day at Baltray for the Amateurs in the East of Ireland Golf Championship. Misty morning on the course but the fog cleared for the first golfers teeing off.

Red sun in the morning Golfers, take warning. 

 

Vincent Mooney, long-time greenkeeper here at Baltray, said the red sun can be a sure sign for bad weather. However, the sunny day could still hold through the final round of play. Lets hope.

 

Again I set up the back nine in the morning. Tees, trash, divots and bunkers.

Behind me is the shot of the Par 5 hole 11. Foggy enough this morning that you cannot see the fairway!

 

Raking bunkers is not the most enjoyable job to do, especially alone. But the positive side is they are not too large, plus I like to believe it substitutes going to the gym.

 

After job completion and a big breakfast, the greens crew head back to their houses for the day. Surprising for a golf tournament in Ireland to have such perfect weather conditions. I hope I dont jinx myself now To the crew- a job well done this week lads!
