Hot and dry weather can cause problems for our staff , just like wet weather. . Please refrain from taking carts and trunodlers between greens and bunkers, onto closely mowed surrounds, and tees. Tyre marks are plain to see, especially between tee markers. Please this should not be happening, go around them. If the grass gets dry, and dies off because of wear, you the golfer suffers. Good luck to those who made the cut for the Summer Cup, bring on 2025 for those who didn't. 


Good Golfing👍
