The bunkers have had bit of a battering due to the rain and keeping up with maintenance is an ongoing issue, however the tiller rake has been used on a number of occasions de-compacting the sand to bring the bunkers back into play.
There has been an obvious improvement on the fairways since the divots bags have come into action. We would all like to thank everyone for using these bags and improving the fairways. Please don’t ever stop!! Thank you
We would also like to thank you for not taking trollies or buggies in the roped of areas or even stepping over any ropes that are located on the course to protect areas from wear and tear. The ropes are to navigate you all around the course to allow the course to be presented in the best condition that can be offered.
General course maintenance is an ongoing battle, seems to be the Greens Team versus the weather again, this is as expected. However, the Greens Team will do all they can, weather permitting. Sometimes protecting the greens will mean they won't be get cut every day, sometimes they will be on temporary greens, specifically if there is a white frost or when it’s just too wet. There will be times when the bunkers won't be raked, there may be long fairways and wet areas. Sometimes all that really matters is were still out there playing breathing in the Mendip air and spending time with our pals.
Path maintenance has been something that’s been difficult for the team recently, but they are pushing through and trying to keep up with the damage after the storms/heavy rains. When these time consuming jobs arise, sometimes other jobs cannot get done around the course. The Greens Team will always do what they think is necessary first, even if that means beginning the day with a warm brew to prepare themselves for the cold weather!
Having said all that, the course is in excellent condition and we hope you continue to enjoy the course!
Thank you!
