The divot tree is out on the course, we ask you kindly to help us keep the fairways in top condition by repairing your divots. This year we have adopted a new system in which divot boxes are located two holes after the divot tree. The aim is for you to replenish your divot bags on these holes, allowing you more mix to repair three holes rather than one. The empty bag is then placed in the basket as normal.

Unfortunately last week one of our staff members had a incident in which diesel from a greens mowing machine was leaked over a select few greens. This has only affected 1-6 with the worst being the 5th green. The diesel will bio-degrade naturally and the affected turf make a full recovery within approximately 4-weeks. The damage has no affect on ball roll.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Earlier this month Aaron Hamer joined the team from Bath Golf Club, replacing Matt Carver who left us to set up his own maintenance company. Aaron has 18 months experience in the industry and has settled in to the team very well. We have enrolled him on his national diploma level 2 in sportsturf management through Myerscough college, if you see him on the course please make him feel welcome.

We welcomed David Seabright back this week, who kindly helped us with some detail jobs before the Jock Lawrence senior scratch competition. Dave retired back in 2015 but often helps us out on the golf course with jobs such as cleaning tee description signs.

 

 

 

This year we have purchased new tee markers which have the Kingsdown logo on them and have made a dramatic impact on the presentation of the tees, we hope you like them as much as we do.
