Credit to Willie and the team!
When I start to write about our course I always type with a smile as it is one thing that gives us such fantastic feedback here in the shop from both visitors and members alike! Well, almost all members. Willie and the team do an incredible job and, with the weather we have had of late, it’s a credit to the boys that with the early starts they ensure the course remains in tip-top order for everyone, the greens running fast and as true as I’ve seen them, the fairways are tremendous (maybe too green due to the weather) and the rough very penal. The course is after all what we are all here for and for six men to keep it in the way we are accustomed to is just magic. Bunkers are hazards, something we shouldn’t be in and while the team do their upmost to ensure they are always ready for us, it’s not an area that any course will address each day. As golfers we are as responsible for the up keep as much as we are for repairing pitchmarks. Places like St Andrews and Kingsbarns have employees specifically to rake bunkers, however, they can afford to as they charge £250-£300 per round. Help us help you. Watch this video below on how best to rake bunkers.
