As we head towards another weekend in lockdown, we hope you and your family are well. Fraser, Matthew and myself are all missing seeing the members, the banter, the laughs and enjoying our great club. Hopefully there is some light and the end of the tunnel soon. I am hearing today Golf clubs in Germany opening, so maybe in a few weeks, this could be possible.
What I would like to do, when we get back open, if restrictions allow is to arrange.
Friday Night Pro's 18-hole Stableford
• 18-hole Shotgun start • 4balls with friends/members • 4.00pm check in • 4.30 shotgun start • 8.30 beers/laughs/prize giving
Hopefully we will be able to do something like this, have some laughs, see the club busy and enjoy our wonderful links. We will have to see when we can get back, and what restrictions government guidelines allow.
Course wise the Team has been busy working away, in accordance with government guidelines. We have the following staff in at present: Course Manager James and Graeme. Kevin and Dave both furloughed at present.
They have been keeping on top of the following.
• cutting routines including fairway, greens and surrounds • feed on all greens • completion of drainage on 10th hole • sand and seed some fairways • reinstating the irrigation and running checks
Kevin and Dave are both desperate to come back and hopefully we can run as a full team soon.
Many members have offered their help, which is fantastic, we just can't use it right now. When the time comes, we will ask for help, as many jobs such as bunkers, divoting, we will need some help then please.
The guys are doing a great job, ticking off long-standing problems, and fixing jobs correctly.
The money raised from the NHS draw will be sent to account set up by Foremost Professionals, who wish to donate to the NHS is this way. The money will be donated shortly. For all who did not win a prize, 2nd chance!!. I am going to run a mini draw tomorrow for 15 more prizes for those who were not lucky the 1st time. I will let you know the winners and prizes!!
Thank you all for helping to help them!!
There are plenty of ideas in this week’s email for you to give a go at home, including one that we’d like you to send us a video of you trying. Keep reading to find out what! Stay safe and enjoy the read. Thanks for your support!!
