Course update

The warm weather has certainly helped out on the course, and we are finally starting to see some much-needed growth to the fairways.

However, as always happens at this time of year, it also brings out the growth of the weeds as well. If you have played midweek you will have seen Bron or Charlotte out on the small digger pulling up the silver birches one by one. They have been doing this most days for weeks. This is by far the best long term solution to keep the heather clean, but it is very slow progress.

We are aware that in the past couple of weeks the birch have sprung up quite dramatically in a few places around the course, and this looks quite untidy. We will make a decision about which areas to get the Grillo machine on to take the top off and tidy up (which looks better short term but can actually make the long term problem worse) and which areas to leave for now to be pulled by the "digger girls" when they can.

A number of you have commented positively on the new 150 markers, we now have Ben Todd in the middle of a white tee post renovation for us. He has done the first few (see pic) and I am really pleased with the result. The rest will be done and put back out in the coming weeks. PLEASE can I ask that you don't either try and sit on them or lean your clubs on them. Thank you
