Course News
If you have played the course in the last few days, you might be wondering what the little black granules are on the greens. This week Steve, our Course Manager, and his staff have been out spraying the greens with a spring cocktail of nitrogen, potash, chelated iron and magnesium, followed by spreading organic granulated seaweed meal (black granules) on to the greens to enhance root establishment for the coming season. In the coming weeks, the greens will be deep aerated and scarified and then top dressed with a sand/soil dressing.
More information will be posted in the following weeks.

Members' Shop Accounts
With the new golfing season fast approaching, I need your help to get your accounts up to date before the new season starts. We don't want to do away with our popular members' accounts, but quite a few are sitting on unspent shop account money from the last 12 months (or in some cases longer).
It would be much appreciated if all members could spend any remaining account balances by the end of March.
