Care of the Course
I received the message below via an email and so I explained to the sender (who I’ll keep anonymous) that I would post it in my newsletter. It’s not the first time this has been mentioned to me – we have a beautiful course with some hard working greenkeepers, let’s do our best to maintain it.
I hope I’m not stepping out of line to suggest this. Would you be able to put in your newsletter a mention regarding raking the bunkers? There seems to be quite a times lately when the bunkers are not raked adequately after being used. Ball tracks, impact marks and footprints have all been there to show fun in the sand. Perhaps mentioning that there should be no evidence left that you’ve ever been in there? It is getting worse and worse. It’s not a lot of fun dealing with a churned up bunker as you try to get your ball out of it.
