Course News March 2010
The Green keepers have had a busy few weeks, they have completed the re-turfing of the 17th Tee, using a dwarf perennial Rye Grass specifically developed for Tee's, it is hoped to re-open Mid May. They have also cleared the area around the pool on the 14th, which is soon to planted with various ground hogging scrubs including Rhododendrons. Improvements have also been made to the 15th Tee following the installation of the artificial Tee surface, kindly donated by our Seniors section.
Greens Renovation Programme, starts the week commencing 19th April, this essential work should take two days, and during this time we would ask that you give the Greens staff priority on the course so that can complete the work efficiently as possible without causing to much disruption. Hopefully with a mixture of some sunshine and a FEW!! APRIL showers, we should see the course moving towards peak condition during the next few months.
