Greetings from Tim, Mark, Adam, Ben & John.



This week new security cameras went in around the club house. 

The new camera is situated above the clock face, so don't get caught out doing something you shouldn't!

Just in case you were wandering, the blue dots around the edges of some of the greens are to remind the guys of the new shapes to the greens. Some are not that clear to see when you are mowing. 

 

To be done:

- Stump grinder will be on hire from Monday, so it is last opportunity to clear the remains of the trees we have felled this winter. 
- Top up bunkers on the 5th and in the field. 
- Tidy course and maintenance paths.
