The greens have been lightly spiked and sanded last week in order to provide drainage during the winter months. Given the minimal nature of the process the greens have already healed well and should be back to their best within a very few days!!
You will have noticed that a number of "gum trees" have recently been removed. This culling was undertaken after discussions with Peter Thomson as to which trees were not in play as we seek to further reduce on going maintenance around the course. With their growing habits gums are "dirty" trees shedding leaves, bark and often branches at regular intervals while sucking up substantial amounts of water and reducing the surrounding ground to a barren wasteland. With additional mounding and reseeding these areas will be vastly improved to the benefit of the course.
We have seen the first week of the Alternate course in play and we are keen to receive feedback from members as to their views on the benefits or otherwise of the change. Generally the comments seem to be of a positive nature but it is to be expected that there will be the odd teething problem so give the layout a fair chance. Hopefully we have not lost too many golfers out there!!
