Summer junior camps in full swing
Last week we started our junior summer camps. We had a fully booked morning with the juniors. We set up games down on the main practice ground. We had short game challenges, bunkers and chipping and then on to full shots through hoops and giving them different targets to hit at, we also did a putting challenge and had a great morning. All juniors took away with them a certificate for the day and a chocolate bar.
The course maintenance is in fully swing
This week as part of the clubs maintenance programme they have solid tinned the green and given them a top dressing, this is essential work that need to be carried out. What Rod is also doing is picking certain spots on certain greens that need extra maintenance and using a specialised piece of equipment to remove the cores and to top dress these areas.
A great day at Bolton
On Wednesday Phil Brookes and myself went to play at Bolton golf club in a PING tour players day. We had our own better ball score but also played three holes with Matt Nixon, a tour player sponsored by PING. We had a great day and played well finishing just 3 points off the lead. Matt Nixon was a nice lad and a wonderful golfer and it was a wonderful day all round.
