Changes winter 2009











After some feedback from golfers and talks with Paul Kimber and David McLay Kidd we got permission to make a few alterations - this involved moving the 2nd tees inland to create a better angle of play/soften the 4th fairway that was hard to mow producing scalping/reshaped the 7th green/moved the 8th green 50 yards closer to fairway/reshaped the 14th green and altered some routes for golf paths saving over 700 yards in walking distance. Paul Kimber and Conor Walsh where again on site along with Gregg Sherwood from Southworth Golf Development (our owners) We turfed the altered greens and tees - this was started in February 2010 and the greens where re-opened for play mid April 2010 at a cutting height of 7mm. Again my squad performed great under pressure and proved many wrong when told wed not have them playable by April! Although there was allot of praying involved and the weather behaved! just

  1. Can't wait to see the changes. I'm glad the SNH compromised some more. Now I just need to figure out a way to get out there.
