All ready for Open Weekend


This week we have continued our efforts to prepare the golf course for Open Weekend. This is an event to try to attract families to the golf club with a view to making our golf facility accessie for those who are new to the game.

Hopefully, Open Weekend will be a great success and we wish everybody an enjoyable time.

We sprayed the greens this week with some Seaweed and Liquid fertiliser. This should keep the greens ticking along nicely without encouraging too much growth. At the moment, we are just trying to maintain a consistent surface for golfers to putt on. 

The feedback has been very positive and we thank members and visitors for the very kind comments.


We had a great turnout today from 6 members who spent half a day with a wood shredder in the woodland between 4 and 7. Many thanks to John Newns, Wally Wiley, Ray Barnes, Barry Barlow, Gilbert Harding and Phil Lockett. This area looks fantastic now and is really developing as an area of well managed woodland.


Finally, we have continued mowing out some more walkways that link the teeing areas with the fairways. We are mowing them at the same height as our fairways (10mm) through the carry. They are developing well and members comments have been very positive.


 Have a great weekend and enjoy your golf!
