COURSE NEWS
Course Maintenance Week (3rd - 9th March)
The verti-draining and top-dressing of the greens and hollow-coring and top-dressing of tees was very successful and will give both the freens and tees a great start to the year ahead.
Bunkers - 7th and 11th holes - COMPLETE
The above bunkers have now been completed using a new technology called ‘sportcrete’ which is a permeable concrete application, the benefits of which: stop stones and weeds coming up in to the bunker; the sand sticks to the sides as the water permeates through the sportcrete, rather than washes down.
This technology has been used for many years in the States and has been used at the Wisley Golf Club too all with great success.
Tree work
The trees along the roadside and hole side of the 6th will be cut back during the last week of July.
Verti-draining - greens
Verti-draining (punching solid holes into the greens) has started to aid root growth so the sward becomes stronger and thicker as well as aiding drainage.
HANDICAPS
Handicaps
For all those people who don’t have a handicap, but would like one, then all you need to do is get 3 cards marked and signed by a member with a handicap and submit them to the competition committee and you will be allocated a handicap in accordance with CONGU (Confederation Of National Golfing Unions). Either leave the cards with Chris Small, Peter Smith or put them in an envelope and leave it on the mail board at the club.
USE OF LOCKERS
Please note that the use of lockers in the changing rooms are only for the period you are playing golf. It appears that many members are simply keeping a locker occupied at all times therefore preventing other members from being able to use them.
In order to stop this, the lockers will be emptied of their contents on a regular basis, at a time when no lockers should be being used i.e. early mornings. The contents will then be labelled and stored for collection by the owners on their next visit to the club, which will cause inconvenience for those people.
In order to prevent inconvenience of this nature and allow use of lockers for all people, please only use lockers when you are at the club.
HOW DID I DO?
I am pleased to advise you that we have now set up access to the ‘How Did I Do?’ website, which enables you to do the following
From the comfort of your home or work:
- Check how you did in a competition
- See what effect a good or bad score had on your handicap
- View the forthcoming main golfing fixtures
All you need to do to access the site is to log on to the following site: wwww.howdidido.co.uk. Then search for Donnington Valley under courses and you will need to register yourself. The rest is simple!
