Course Update / 8th hole/ Bunkers
Course conditions should improve throughout the weekend, however, the rainfall over the past two days will result in carts being restricted to cart paths only, for Saturday 23rd July. Bunkers will be optional GUR, with one Card length preferred lie in the general area.
Unfortunately, the greens on the 7th and 10th holes suffered some vandalism earlier this week, with basic repair works having been undertaken.
In preparation for the 8th hole returning to play during next week, fencing has been added for player safety. Members are under no circumstances to enter the fenced off area!
The Club can announce that Bunkers will soon be returning to “play it as it lies” with COVID rules being removed, from Tuesday 26th July. As a reminder, please familiarise yourself with the below Course Maintenance information, specific to Bunkers.
Smoothing Bunkers:
It is important to leave bunkers in good condition for following players. Bunkers should be smoothed in the following manner:
- Enter and leave the bunker from the lowest point.
- After playing, smooth the area and any footprints with rake.
- After use, place the rake in the bunker in the direction of play.
- Do not place the rake against the inside edge of the bunker as this may cause difficult lies for others and potentially awkward rules situations.
The below video demonstrates the required practice.
