Golf Course Maintenance Presentation
A good crowd was present at last Thursday’s presentation on the maintenance plan and projected Course works for 2016,2017 and beyond.
It was great to hear a intensified plan which Ollie will be spearheading over the next 18 months initially, and then further beyond again, as everyone at Castle Dargan commits to the necessary improvements, and changes which will have a great benefit for the course, the members and all visitors to the resort in the coming years. Further details of the plan will be distributed to members in due course, and we look forward to reaping the rewards of these works in the future. For any further details on this, please contact Xav at the golf shop.
