Big thanks to the Vice Captain

This week, our machine for maintaining the rough had a breakdown on Wednesday. One of the rams that lifts the mowing decks broke, potentially leaving the golf club with a significant repair bill.

However, we made a call to our Vice Captain, Graham, and within 48 hours he had pulled in a favour from an engineer that he knows. Although we didn't manage to mow all the rough, Graham's fantastic assistance got us back on course (no pun intended!) and the cost to the club was a bit of machine down time.
So, Mr VC, hats off to you! What a top guy.

We have now started to settle back down to regular maintenance after finishing all the coring and topdressing. Looking back, the work was a success but the irritation was the inclement weather that interrupted this important work and prevented us from completing it quickly.


The course is now starting to look good and the feedback has been very positive. It's also nice to see the orchids growing around the 5th and 6th holes. Please do not pick them or whack them with your club. They are rare and it would be nice if they stuck around a while longer!!

Enjoy your golf!!
