From Greens
All of you will be aware that it is our objective to keep the golf course open for play as much as possible, but those of you who have played recently will be aware of the volume of surface water and soft conditions in several key areas on the course.
Recent drainage work carried out on the 3rd fairway is working well and evert effort is made to keep existing drains clear. However, the sheer amount of rainfall, alongside very limited spells of dry weather, is causing us huge problems.
Everyone accepts a certain amount of wear and tear due to golfing traffic, but I'm sure you will agree that we must not take too many risks, especially with turf and around the greens/tees. It is therefore a balancing act, often dividing opinions. Please accept that John and his team are keeping the course as dry as possible so as to enable play to take place.
Hopefully we can look forward to some dry weather soon?.
