Care of the Greens

We are delighted to see so many members using the course every day of the week.  Unfortunately some are still ignoring pitch marks on the greens.  Our course staff is making a special effort to keep the course in its present excellent condition.  You can help by repairing not only your own but other pitch marks you may find on the greens.  Thanks to the generosity and work of a number of volunteers you will notice a series of improvements to the course.  Additional improvements are planned in the near future. Everyone can contribute by treating the course with respect and fixing the little things that can make a big difference.
