An interesting week weather wise

2nd fairway mid-morning Friday

The contrast in the weather this week has been quite incredible. Tuesday saw us reach a high of 27.5°C which came as a bit of a shock to the system. This was then followed up by 59mm of rain over the next three days and a high of 12.9°C on Friday. The rainfall has not only been great for the course in general terms, but also has had the added bonus of accelerating the recovery of the greens after last week's renovations. I am extremely pleased with the speed of their recovery and also the fact that we were able to achieve this with minimal disruption and inconvenience to the membership.

Finally to the member, who in a fit of temper during Wednesday's competition, took the divot shown in the photo below from alongside the hole on the 2nd green, this is not acceptable golfing etiquette and I hope that you are proud of yourself!
