Course Closed
The course is flooded and covered in debris and will be closed until further notice. Greenkeeper, Martin Boatswain, cannot get any machinery on the course today and if we get the forecast rain on the weekend then he may not get on till Tuesday or Wednesday next week.
We can help by doing some cleaning up probably Monday, so if anyone can get there it will be the start of the cleanup. Stacking and raking rubbish is probably the best thing we can do. If you are available please bring a rake and help out.
Again, the course is currently closed till further notice.
White Duck Day Postponed
The closure of the course and the uncertainty of its re-opening day has led Vice-President and organiser of the White Duck Day, Keith Hales, to postpone the event until Thursday 22nd of June.
March Monthly Medal Postponed Again
Our course has taken a battering in this week’s storms and with the closure of the course for the weekend the March monthly medal has been shifted to Saturday 25th of March replacing the stableford event. If it is again washed out on this day then the event will be cancelled.
