Yes it is "that time of year" again! On Monday 8 & Tuesday 9 November the course will be closed as Mark Lawson and the greens staff core and sand the greens. It is anticipated that all the work will be completed in the two days and hopefully we will mirror the quick recovery that took place during the 2009 programme.
In addition the Club will be proceeding with the renovation of the final 6 fairways - 1, 2, 4, 12, 17 & 18 - on the following Monday namely 15 November. Given that the first two holes to be completed are 1 & 18 rather than move to a progressively reduced course we will make the transition directly to nine holes.
The holes in playing order are 16, 13, 11, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, & 15. You will note that this gives us a balance of two par three's and five's with an overall par of 36. The course will be rated for handicap purposes and we are currently clarifying tee positions but it is likely we will use two different sets and given the holes involved potentially this will provide a different aspect on the second time around. More information will follow in due course.
We recognise that these tasks,while being completed, do create a level of inconvenience for members we would ask that where possible you continue to support JB & Ant in the pro shop and Andrew & Amanda in the Clubhouse by continuing to play at Shirley whenever possible.
