Improvements had been made to the course during the winter, in spite of severe and prolonged wintry conditions. For example, the seventh hole had been moved and a new teeing ground had been made nearer the railway in order to make this a less dangerous hole to drive from. Up on the hill behind Silverburn Farm, the twelfth hole had also been reworked. The round-up also mentioned that "several old bunkers have been filled up and new ones made." The Club was still however looking to members to help fund the purchase of a new "mowing tractor to get quicker over the fairways".
