SeniorsAfter a really successful start to their season, winning their first four matches the Seniors came back to earth with a big bump. Heavy defeats in the two remaining matches of May against Copt Heath and then Tadmarten Heath were not what was required in the quest to improve on last season's 19 wins.
Match day Captains'
Peter Bedwell and
Nick Godden reported on a sorry tale of woe in recording 4.5 to 1.5 match figures.

This week:
At the start of this week the greenstaff pencil tined the greens, you will have also seen them out and about the course strimming through gorse copses, re-seeding 5th, 8th and 12th bare areas, as well as re-divoting the tees and range.
Furthermore they will look to verticut the greens to thin out course grasses and seed heads, as well as weed kill tees and 9A surrounds.
Regards,
Rob Hay Course Manager
