The boys have a new hoist in the maintenance

shed—pop your head in if you’d like to have a look.

Andy has said that this doesn’t mean they will be

issuing WOFs any time soon!!!

The greenkeepers have just finished a shallow ‘Solid

tining’ of the greens. This is done for decompaction

of the surface—it helps with drainage, but is more

for soil conditioning by creating macro pores for air

and water exchange and for plant roots to grow

into. It helps the wetting agents be more effective in

the fight against dry patch and helps fertilizers get

into the ground.

Club Captain, Marie Blackmore

A man tells his doctor that he’s

incapable of doing all the things

around the house that he used to do.

When the examination is over, he

sys, “Okay Doctor, in plain English,

what’s wrong with me?”

“Well, in plain English,” says the

doctor, “you’re just lazy.”

The man nods. “Now give me the

medical term so I can tell my wife.”
