April 2018 Greens Blog
1.
Eco Bunkers:
·
These have all
been turfed & weather permitting they should be in play within 3 – 4 weeks.
·
Douglas reassures
me the back of the one at the 5th will not be too high. The base is
being carefully shaped to ensure any balls entering it will roll into the
middle & not get caught under the back lip.
2.
1st Green:
·
Following the
installation of the new drain in this green, it’s looking great & back in
play.
3.
14th Red Tee:
·
The new tee was
rolled/cut this week & weather permitting should be in play within 2 weeks.
4.
LHS of 17th:
·
Douglas will be
assessing this area as it’s extremely wet. If necessary it will be roped off
& marked GUR.
5.
Drainage:
·
There are several
unusual areas of the course which are holding extraordinary levels of water. In
the interests of being proactive & minimising course closures during next
winter, Douglas is developing a plan (for committee approval) as to how we
might manage these areas during the playing season.
6.
Preferred Lies:
·
Preferred lies
will remain in place until further notice.
7.
Pitch Marks:

There are a
ridiculous amount of pitch marks on the greens. Therefore we are re-issuing the
surname alpha split asking all members to repair pitch marks on at least their
allocated greens. See below:
