Robert Laycock

Today, Robert Laycock made one of his visits to inspect the course. Robert has been the clubs Agronomist since July 2002 and has played a major part in the improvements and alterations to the course in the last 10 years. This visit we focused on the recent results from the soil tests in December and the condition of the greens especially the drainage work on the 6th & 10th.
We also discussed the effects the wet & cold weather has had on the winter work programme. He informed us that other clubs in the North had suffered course closures of up to 2 months (twice our lost days).
Robert announced he was very pleased with our progress and complimented us on how tidy the course was looking. His report will be put on the board when we receive it.
