Golf - Tuesday 23rd August 2011











I think we all looked in disbelief when we woke up this morning to find that more rain had fallen overnight and further small showers happened through the day.  We are all "Not Happy Jan" as the fairways were wet enough as it was. 

We were supposed to be having a "Presidents Vs Captains" day which is always a popular event.  The Course was open but no carts were allowed on & the course was very wet.  That was enough to put off all of our lady golfers - so there was no golf event today.

I filled in my day in the gardens & did see a few social golfers having a hit but it would have been hard going.

A protective rope has had to be put around the new hedge at the front entrance to the club as we have some very careless bigfeet stomping on one of the new plants & snapping it off at ground level.  This meant the purchase of a new plant - Not happy Jan.

The last of the tibouchinas for the water feature garden at the 1st has arrived and has been planted.  We have a little bit more fussing to do & this garden will then be complete.  The water feature is up and running & hopefully will add some "welcome" atmosphere at the entrance to the 1st & 10th tees.

 We are all well and truly "over" all this wet weather so let's hope there is some lovely warm sunshine and a brisk breeze around the corner so our course can snap back into top condition.  The greens are in great shape so some "dry" weather is all that is required for the rest of the course.
