Titleist Clubs  - fitting day

​Tuesday the 10th of October.

Course update...

The renovations have gone well and the greens will start to be cut this week.

A friendly reminder to replace and repair divots and repair your pitch marks.  Nothing stopping you repairing others as well.

Good weather for course renovations...

18/9/2023

 
A couple of busy days, today and tomorrow, for Matt and his team as they spike and sand the greens and core the tee boxes.  The dry warm weather will assist the flow of the sand into the spike holes on the greens.  The holes are approximately 100mm deep and the sand on the greens are "rubbed" into the holes by dragging a matt of artificial turf across the greens using a golf cart.  Hopefully a shower or two of rain will come with the weather change on Thursday.
