Men ́s captain weekly news
Gents,
In the build up to our ‘Farewell’ and the ‘Drive In’ events, the competitions are coming thick and fast. All with glorious weather and great company.
The Guinness seems to go down rather well, as well.
Finals Day Sat 25 & Mon 27 –
Congratulations to all those that reached the Finals. I hope you all felt special and enjoyed the day. Thanks to Tina, Linda and Gary for refereeing.
Thanks to Ramon for all the work in the background.
A big thank you to all those that came along and supported the players.
Champion of Champions Congratulations to Phil Fisher and Tina Ducker on winning the relevant events.
My Mantra:-
Pitch marks, Please repair 4 or 5 on every green.
Divots, try and use 4 or 5 sand hoppers every round. Worse case 1 per nine.
Pace of Play – please keep up with the group in front. If you can’t, let the group behind through.

Course work Info from Ben.
– Greens and Ante greens will be sprayed today.
– All old course tees will have a granular fertilizer today, this will help push the recovery of the tees.
– We are waiting on a sand delivery today, if this comes, we will go ahead with the scheduled top-dress on greens and antes followed by 8mm solid tine, if the sand isn’t able to come today, we may push till next week.
– Tuesday morning the practice tee will receive a topdress.
– All fairways will be sprayed on Wednesday with fertilizer.
– The turfing works around the edges of the greens will continue this week, areas on 6,10 and 16 were done last week. this week we will be focusing on 1 and 9 with seeding works being completed on the worst areas on 17 and 13. I would prefer to seed given the extended encroachment into the playing surfaces. We will attempt to start getting around the bunkers, you will have noticed them getting a bit harder in places and this is generally around the additional irrigation with the lack of rain and warmer temps.
