The greens are now cored, seeded and sanded! We are eternally grateful for our dedicated group of volunteers who toiled away making sure quality of our greens continues to improve. The end of daylight savings sees the end of Wednesday Twilight and the Sunday Junior Coaching Programme. It was wonderful to welcome new Junior members from the programme, and see their parents take advantage of our family bundle offer.

Wednesday Club

16 stalwarts navigated with varying success the recently cored and in some cases sanded greens for a Stableford round of the Wednesday Club. There were no twos and no NTP. I was hoping for a ball for most golf to replace the 4 I lost in my round but found 3 others had eclipsed my score!! Balls were given to Alex Lim (35 pts), Martin Leung (33 pts) and Victor Diem (33 pts). Victor also generously made a significant donation to be passed to the Club Investment Fund as he didn't have any change!!

The winners were Matt Everett (39 pts) who took the wine and Gerd Warnke (38 pts) who took the chocolates. Every other player enjoyed an early Easter egg! The raffle was won by Tim Brosahan and Mike Cox. (Cheers Ian)

Greens - Coring, Seeding & Sanding

We had a massive coring, seeding and sanding effort from our staff and volunteers this week. All the greens were cored on Monday and the wet(ish) weather on Tuesday delayed the sanding effort until Wednesday afternoon and Thursday. It's heavy and tedious work - so we're hugely appreciative to the 16 volunteers that helped out through the week. The disruption to golfers was kept to a minimum and we'll all benefit from healthier and smoother greens.
