Today Cruden Bay Golf Club twittered this:



And since then I have been scratching my head at the photo.

Its the 14th, right ?

Is it an optical illusion or ?

I have even checked the date !

Yeah, it's the 14th. The winter green is just behind that bunker, on top of the hill. The regular green is still behind it, as per usual.  It's a but if Assn optical illusion, but I think the heavy rough in the photo (which looks like it's just behind the winter green) is a good bit further back, behind the usual green.

Thanks Michael.

Must admit, I never knew there was a winter green there, or there was room for one.

I was so sure someone had filled in the bathtub green and told anyone

Scottish Spring Time
This Spring the Weather has been very poor for promoting early growth ,this has not been a problem for our fine turf areas which have provided good Winter & Spring surfaces and have come through with good vigour and density. Our main problems areas with lack of growth are the newly constructed 14th Green and the newly turfed banks of the burn at the 13th .



The Reconstructed 14th Green needing Mother Nature to provide some Heat!



The Newly Turfed Burn Banks at the 13th Needing some Heat to help the Turf Knit Together.



We have managed to get 5 Top Dressings on the Greens. You can also see up on the bank above the Green the Gorse Bushes have been burnt badly with the Freezing Easterly winds we have been experiencing.
