It was the first time the Course has had a maintenance week in August, with the greens getting the extensive work they need. The August date was picked as the grass is still growing and recovery should be quick. The below pictures shows the new growth on Tuesday morning. 

  



Coming up

We will miss and remember Club Captain Peter Couch this Friday as The PGA Captain Pro Competition visits The County Course for the first time. 

Next Monday's Junior Open will have reduced numbers compared to previous years. As we go to print the tee times have not been released, so please check with the office if you plan to play that day. 

Handicap league 

Support would be appreciated for the men's handicap league semi final against Wellingborough this Sunday. First tee will be 2.30pm with the match being played at Northampton GC (Harlstone). This season is the first time the club has entered this event with a fantastic played 8 / won 8 record so far. 

Scratch league 

Our Men's Scratch league team won at home against Brampton Heath on Saturday. Moving them up the league undefeated. A great win of 6 1/2 - 1 1/2

Club Members Andrew and Duncan Nicholson both cycled 100 miles around London last week to raise money for charity. Andrew was really proud to say that they completed the 100 miles in 6hrs and 12 minutes which is significantly quicker than he was hoping to do.
