Course maintenance update

This past week has seen the maintenance work to the greens completed. They were verti-drained then more top dressing applied. With all the heavy rain we have experienced recently it has been difficult work for the team but they have managed to get the work completed.

From the beginning of November we will be starting the course from the 10th, with the front 9 becoming the back 9. During the week, Monday-Friday, the front 9 greens will be on temporary greens with the back 9 on full greens, except in extreme weather conditions.

However at the weekends we plan to have the front 9 on full greens where possible. The reason for these changes is to give the front 9 greens a rest as they are heavily played throughout the main season.

Also on mornings when there is frost in the ground the back 9 tends to clear quicker, by the time you play the front 9 they should have had sufficient time to thaw out.

Junior news

Junior Coaching

This past week my Assistant Robbie had the Juniors along for the final coaching event of the season. The first part of the day was spent working away on the technique and testing the kids on all of the aspects they have been working on all season.

The final test for them was a 7 Hole Stableford competition where there was some excellent scoring. This Season has been a real success on the Junior front. We started the year with a more or less blank canvas in terms of numbers, but through hard work and getting the word out there we quickly had 19 kids signed up for 2 Saturday classes.

Along with the coaching camps and weekly coaching we now have a good platform to build on for next season where we can hopefully grow the section again and sort out handicaps the majority of the kids. A big thank you to all of the parents for bring the kids along each session and also a big thank you to Robbie for his hard work in delivering each of the sessions.
