The registration sheet for the May Day shotgun is now on the noticeboard, please enter your name if you wish to play. This is an Am-Am (2 from 4 to score) Make up your team. Tees will be allocated next Friday. If you can’t get to the Club, please email admin@penngolfclub.co.uk with your team names.
Apologies for the problems with the booking system last night.
I have now gone through all the remaining Saturday fixtures to check that the settings are correct to ensure that this problem won’t happen again. The new systems are unfamiliar to everyone. Please bear with all the staff while we get used things. Thank you for your patience at this time.
** COURSE MANAGER'S REPORT**
A busy 2 weeks for the team over the Easter period has seen some welcome rain and much needed growth on the course. Grass cutting has become more frequent with rough and fairways now cut on a weekly basis. The greens are coming along now and the seed we put in the ground had started germinating which will help with recovery. This will mean the greens are still a bit bumpy, however, we have now lowered the height of cut by 1mm and started to make use of the turf iron. We have applied a wetting agent and a Spring feed which has already made a difference. The irrigation system is working now and with another dry spell forecast we shall be monitoring the moisture levels on a daily basis. Holes have been changed twice a week and aprons cut when required.
The tees and aprons have also had an application of wetting agent and spring feed. The tees have been slow recovering from the Winter play and we have continued to keep markers forward to protect areas for the Summer. As stated in the email during the week, the course won't be qualifying every day so please check the notice board before play for course status The seed is germinating on the tees and aprons now the temperatures have risen but with no irrigation these areas will struggle during any prolonged dry spells. New flags and pins have been put out on the course. Next week our rough mower has to go away for repair and wont be in use for that week. I'm looking for a short term solution, however, the rough may be a little longer than usual this time next week. We will look to verti cut the greens soon to thin the sward out which will help speed the greens up and give a more true putting surface.
The Sapling group continue to do a great job around the course and are always looking for more volunteers to join them, if you are interested in helping out please contact Paul Stanyer or Andrew Allen for more information.
Enjoy your weekend.
Dave.
