You will all be pleased to know that the sign of spring is in the air with the announcement that the trolley ban has now been lifted. All forms of trollies are allowed on to the course. Please help the course further though, by keeping away from greenside edges and wet areas. The 1st tee will also be going back to the Yellow stones from this Saturday's competition, and the 10th green is back in play.
As some of you will already be aware, the greens staff have been scarifying and top dressing the greens this week and next. This is where all of the old roots and thatch gets taken out from under the surface and feed gets inserted, allowing for new roots to flourish and get some needed air and sunlight. There will be minimum disturbance throughout this process and we hope it won't affect your game too much.
