Free Mulch for Golf Club Members.

 






With recent cutting down of many trees on the course we have got a huge piles of mulch that should be used on gardens before it disintegrates back to soil.

If we have any members who would be happy to help our F-Troopers to assist in spreading the mulch out on our club gardens please contact Jan Martin. It would be a shame to loose this opportunity to use the mulch at the course.
