15 March 2024 - message from Head Greenkeeper

David Haslegrave:

Firstly, thank you for all being patient with the weather

and the condition of the course. Trust me when I say

you’re not the only ones who are frustrated with the

course being closed, as a Greenkeeper there is nothing

worse than not being able to be out on the course

providing you the best playing surfaces we can.

This doesn’t mean that we’ve been sat down for the

last however many weeks doing nothing, a lot has

been done to areas of the course that have remained

accessible. Yes, there are still areas that need work

and had their completion date pushed back, purely

down to how much rain we’ve had and be able to

access different areas. It may seem like a broken

record but there has been an unprecedented amount

of rain this winter, fingers crossed this year is an

anomaly and won’t happen again (we’ve got plans in

place for the future if it does happen to rain this much

again). 
As for the here and now, 9 holes will be back open

tomorrow, FROM 9am; 1,2,3,4,5,6,16,17 and 18. It will be

carry only for the foreseeable until everywhere really

dries out properly. All main greens and tees will be

in use with the exception of the 18th Green as the

bottom of the fairway is simply unplayable and the

18th Medal tee because of the above mentioned rain

issue. Even in these 9 holes there are areas that are

wet and our mowers have left some wheel marks, so

as a collective from now, we need to use common

sense and avoid walking/driving through these areas

until we see drier days (don’t worry that applies to my

team as well and they’ve been made aware!) we all

want what is best for the course from a maintenance

perspective. One thing I will ask from you the

members, is to make sure people are behaving as

you would expect on any golf course to keep the

course in order when we aren’t around, from raking

bunkers, repairing your pitch marks (very soft greens

at the moment) and please, if you see someone

chipping from the apron of the putting green and

taking divots out, tell them to stop! Then send them

in the shop to ask for a lesson on how to chip properly! 
Again, thank you for your patience, I’ve no doubt

we will come on leaps and bounds this summer

and have everyone talking about us! 
David.
