Simply can't beat a hand cut on the greens.
It's fair to say we've been battered 'a lot' by the weather of late, and the course is still very wet in places (no surprise there), however, this does look good.
Also took the opportunity to get the Air 2g2 on / into the surfaces 👌
Invaluable work from our Members Working Party
Thank you to all of you who give freely of your time for the good of the club/course
It doesn't go unnoticed by the club & other members. We must use the time of year to get together for some festive cheer & a huge thank you 🥂 🙏
Fireworks display the Whitchurch way.
An amazing show from the team... well done to all involved and thank you to the local community for coming out in support of a great evening 🎆
Less than a week ago, we were under water. What a transformation; loving the definition 'in January' !!
Roll on the golf season ⛳️ 🏌️♀️ 🏌️♂️
