One of those necessary evils, like filing in your yearly tax forms, it hurts in the moment but you know it will relieve stress and problems further down the road. In golf course terms, the half million holes it creates allows water and air to penetrate the sun-baked surface and keep the roots healthy during […]

This event marks the first official competition under the new captain of the club, Peter Domeij. In traditional golfing fashion, participants of the day placed bets on where his first drive would finish. After a (warm up) shot out of bounds, he cracked a great 5 hybrid level with the green to the left which

Let the games begin Finally we can officially say WE ARE OPEN. It’s not at 100% yet, I would be honest and give it 80%, but the work we’ve put in recovering the grass over the last year can be noticed. There is still a list as long as my arm of jobs to do,

Sewage Works Underway Finally, we are happy to report, the Hidralia works have commenced. Even better news is that they will not go through the middle of the new 1st teeing ground as originally planned.
