Winter Programme:
Works on this are progressing as follows:
· New drain at the RHS of the 1st green has
been completed, with some minor turfing work required.
· Red tee at the 14th has been flattened
& roped off. Turf will be re-laid when weather permits.
· Green staff are clearing some of the smaller trees at
the back of the white medal tee are ongoing to ensure more air/light into the
area.
· Works on the 18th exit pathway has started.
· Fine hollow tining on greens has been slightly delayed
to the increasingly cold weather.

Course Closures/Conditions:
· Members will be aware the course has been closed on
several occasions over recent weeks. This in the main has been due to inclement
weather with extraordinary rainfall, followed by freezing temperatures. We have
a duty of care to our members/visitors & are required to ensure playing the
course does not present any foreseeable risks to them. Therefore, we ask that
members recognise the course will only be closed where a series of dynamic risk
assessments (undertaken daily) have determined opening the course would damage
it or would be potentially unsafe for members to play.
· We will endeavour to have the course open where at all
possible & when it is we would ask players to be alert & diligent,
avoiding any potentially slippy areas where possible.
· Players should also ensure they have appropriate
footwear with good spikes in them.
