What a differance 10 years makes!


10 years ago the course at Hopwood was a very different animal, but as we know, people have short memories. Here's a few reminders of what the members had to put up with on a daily basis.


 This is a picture of the putting green in March 2003. Nice disease scars.



This is the 5th green following the disastrous drainage work that was carried out by contractors in 2002.


This is the old greenside bunker on the R/H side of the 8th green in 2003

 
This is the front R/H side bunker on the 2nd hole in 2003.


This is the site of the pond in front of the 10th tees.


 And for those of you who criticise our tree removal policy, here's a picture of the putting green and 1st tee before we gave the area some light.

With our greens surfaces disease free and with 100% grass cover we are ideally placed to for the start of the season. Lets hope the bad weather forecast for the weekend is short lived and Spring is just around the corner.
