Folks, Been a bit wet of late – 130mm in July – 60 of them in just two days (that’s just over 5” and the main reason “small” folk like the metric system), more than the previous 3 months combined. The course handled it well, taking this deluge of water and growing like a 12 […]

Hi Folks, Budda reckons – “Sunsets are proof the endings can be beautiful “ (And Baz says “ye canny beat a happy ending”).  So we were  sad to hear of Claire’s ending, we all got on well and she worked hard at bringing the “Human Resources” up to date. Contracts, T&Cs, assessments , and pay […]

Folks The Team gets to Work! Gestalt – The organised whole. The Team. Us. The Greenies. Greater than the sum…….. Target  – 27 Holes. Barassie. Wishboned between railroad tracks. North Troon by way of Killie. The Job – Make a difference. We Rumbled and rolled; Cut and slashed; Raked and trimmed; Fed and watered; Shaped […]

Folks, Busy week with all sorts going on. Not least the arrival of over 90 rolls at 10m x 3m size from Rugby Park – massive thanks to Hamilton Tarmac for getting it down here and offloaded and to Captain Sam and the redoubtable Big Jim Clark for sealing the deal. So 3000m2 of pitch […]

Folks,  You will have been very aware of the areas of our fantastic course left damaged by those pesky rabbits. Let me just say that Sammy The Rabbit Man is working his socks off trying to reduce the varmint population, but it’s not easy given how ‘energetic’ rabbits can be. All we can say is […]

Folks, Apologies, like retaliation are best got in early, so sorry to anyone caught by the sprinklers these last few nights. As we alluded to last week, the auld system has been called into action without even a preseason friendly, so we still have a few “stiff legs” “wayward passes” and “missed tackles” that need […]

Folks, Things that makes us Greenies wish we had taken that job cutting grass at Rugby Park – Degenerate Smokers stubbing out fags on the lids of the new bins, use your shoe or tongue or better still yer eyeball please. One handed bunker raking. Please lay your club down and rake with both hands […]

Now folks let’s kick off with a ‘elf’n’saftee (copyright © imatwatrichardlittlejohn) pronouncement (are there any other type). Space on the practice ground is tight to hooked drives off the first and off the 18th so we have, after extensive research come up with a three step “programme” to ensure the continued health of our practitioners […]

Folks, Can we start off with an apology (of sorts) – in our build up to the Spring Meeting it was only on the Monday that it fully dawned on us just what having the clash of the Easter hols meant – i.e. only having  4 Greenies available for the Friday and Saturday and 3 […]

Folks, The weather this week has been both good and bad – good as in nice and dry allowing us to get lots done but so cold in the mornings, we’ve been unable to get cutting and rolling the greens as much as we planned. Mind you the slow greens did not stop Jack Mac […]
