Winter is behind us, and it feels like we've jumped straight into summer this week. In August, we recovered 67mm of rain, including a couple of flood warnings, bringing our total rainfall for this year to 1,084.5mm.
As I'm sure many of you already know, Dylan, a valued member of our team is moving on. Dylan joined us in 2020 as an apprentice, and since then, he has completed his apprenticeship and grown into a skilled greenkeeper. Now, he's off to New Zealand to embark on a new adventure. We want to thank Dylan for his hard work and dedication. It's been a pleasure watching him develop his skills, and we're confident he's on the path to becoming a great superintendent. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
