Captains Thoughts: As has already been said on Facebook everyone should take responsibility for leaving any course in the condition you would want to find it.
Who’s to blame… I don't know, but I firmly believe it is up to ALL MEMBERS including JUNIORS to set the standard we expect at our Club. Then once we have set the standard then we should expect visitors to follow them.
So the next time you are out on the course please fix your divots, rake the bunker behind you and repair your pitch marks.
If you go out onto the course in the evening to practice and plan to hit a number of balls into a green. Do you play from the fairway or the light rough? Do you fix your divots and pitch marks? If you practice bunker shots, do you make sure you rake the bunker?
Hi
ReplyDeleteI have noticed an improvement in the pitch repairing but if soceities go out on a Friday then who knows what state the course will be in. I play early on a Saturday and I find the bunkers are a disgrace. Does the green staff rake bunkers before play? Bunkers need to be improved dramatically, take the left hand bunker at the first, tarpaulin has been sticking out for weeks. If it is not addressed then bring in a local rule to place ball in bunker in nearest point of relief.
I absolutely agree with the above post. Our bunkers are too shallow as in not enough sand and some of the stones in them are ridiculous.
