Tom Simpson's illustrations of proposed bunkers at Morfontaine have been a heavy influence on the restyling of his hazards at Golf de Fontainebleau. @ivgd1.bsky.social and Hendrik are currently overseeing the rebuilding of the next few.

Fortunately, the snow departed as swiftly as it had arrived allowing us to start work at Golf de Fontainebleau with Hendrik overseeing matters. The principal focus of this phase will be the 9th and 18th holes.

Harley Kruse and Simon Hibbins, good friends of our Melbourne office, have traded in the southern hemisphere's summer for a dose of arctic conditions and are walking Golf de Fontainebleau this morning. The mercury is stuck at -5C. Brrr.
Definitely firm, maybe not fast.
