Random happenings!!

Before I leave for foreign shores, for a well needed break after club championship week I thought I would just post a few words to keep everybody up to date. Most of you will have seen that work has begun on the 1st bunkers. Both bunkers will be rough shaped and looked at by Guy Hockley on Wednesday. Once we know Guy is happy we can put in the drainage and make any final adjustments before he returns to sign it off and then we can turf it.

It is our aim to get the bunkers on the 1st and 2nd completed and in play for the Pro-am on the 28th September.  We are currently meeting with regard to the winter work and we will inform all the members of the club when we have finalised the details.

The bunker on 5 is finished and it looks great. For the first construction working with the architect, the guys have done a great job interpreting his vision. I predict the process will be quicker as we go further into the project.

The work has really tightened the fairway up in the landing zone and we have extended the fairway out on the other side to compensate but I must apologise as it is not very much!! We will remove a few trees to get the shape right but I think you will just have to be a little more accurate in future.

Unfortunately we have also had the usual vandalism and I would ask every member to inform the pro shop if they see people on the golf course who clearly should not be there. Amusingly, like every good artist the vandal signed his work. Unfortunately this is the only bit of writing I can upload as the rest was a little more colourful!

Anyway - there are many other things going on at the club at the moment but ill save that for another day. I hope you are all enjoying some of the new architectural changes.
