Reminder for the early season – we mentioned last week the volume of pitch marks being left on the greens, now we are experiencing unraked bunkers on the course. There are adequate rakes in each bunker please rake foot-prints and repair pitch marks as you play round the course to help ensure that your course is as good as it can be.
Direction of play on Practice Area
It has been reported that despite a notice reflecting the direction of play on the practice ground – from 1st fairway side to the 6th green side, that players are practicing in random directions creating H&S issues. There is a sign positioned in the centre of the range and for safety please adhere to this notice.
Our new practice bunker was christened last Saturday and assisted our coaches in delivering their bunker session however, since then it has had a large number of divots landing inside due to balls being hit from the bunkers edge. If we try to adhere to the direction of play we can practice safely and avoid this mess build up in the new bunker.
