 The Greens Report 9th January 2012

A belated happy New Year to you all and we the greens staff hope that 2012 is a good year for you all on and off the golf course.

John Morris the course manager and myself had a meeting at the turn of the year and we agreed due to John's work commitments, that I would endevour to update the web site on a regular basis,so as you the members are fully aware of what work is being carried out and what our future plans are.

I will try and do this on a monthly basis if needed, but there will be periods when there will not be a great deal to report during the playing season, but I am allways on the end ot the phone for any queries you may have.

It has been a busy beginning to the winter golf course work. A new path is under construction between the 7th green to 8th tee.

Pond clearance work has been carried out, numerious trees have been cut with more to be done.

The 2nd green drainage work has been completed and we thank you for putting up with the temporary green for the last few weeks but weather prevailing we are hoping to get it back into play shortly, although please bear with us regarding the early condition that the green will be in. Please note the bank at the back of the 2nd green has been cleared of old shrub bushes.

Ditch clearance work has been carried out, bunker work is nearing completion on 2nd 4th and 5th holes.

The pond on the 5th has been cleared out thanks to Eddie , Barrie and George.

The preparation of the winter greens are progressing well and are being cut and fed on a regular basis so hopfully this year will see a big improvement (subject to weather conditions). The course is generally holding up well, although the last week has seen a geat deal of wet weather.

Chaiman of Greens.
