Congratulations to our Centenary Captain Adrian Flynn on the first Tee Shot of the Season at todays Captains drive in.

Yesterday we had GKB Sandfilling treatment on our greens. The GKB Machine is a scarifier and sandslitter which removes and collects spoil in one pass. This will improve aeration of the greens leading to quicker recovery, greater green longevity and faster drainage of surface water. Thank you to Richard, Paul and all other volunteers that came to help.
