Bracing the chilly winds
The year has started with cold and dry weather allowing golfers to sport the winter wear that lurks in the back of the wardrobe and brace the chilly winds.
At last, excess water has disappeared and as usual, the grass on the other side is looking greener. For now, the front 9 holes are in play and are in great condition. Grass is growing and was mowed beautifully this week. Tee-boxes are manicured and the greens are in good order.
Thank you to the course team. Your work is noted and appreciated.
REMEMBER THE 3 RS!
Replace the divots, Repair the pitch marks and Rake the bunkers (when in play!).
The work of course staff must be respected. Our fellow golfers deserve to find all holes in good order. It only takes a few seconds to replace and repair!
