Theft and Vandalism - Contributed byGreg Kemsley (General Manager)

Iwould like to bring to everyone's attention thesituation the club is currently facing withvandalism and theft. You can see from thephoto here, taken last week, what we walked intoat the start of our day. We currently have somerepeat vandalism at the club and the greenstaffare working hard every day to make sure thatthis does not affect your playing enjoyment. Thephoto was taken on the 13th green and I ampleased to say that no-one realised it happenedbecause of the superb work the greenkeepers havedone to maintain the golf you play.

This is not the first time this year we have hadincidents like this happen and so far you havenot been made aware of this, but I think it isimportant for you all to see what happens whenour course is closed and the time it takes us torepair these situations instead of improving thegolf course. Thousands of pounds have beenwasted this year due to incidents like thesewith the buggies and golf equipment. This is ahuge shame as this money could have been spentbettering your playing experience.

The other problem we are facing is theft offlags and tee markers. We have ordered new onesbut these come at a very high cost per flag. Theother item on their list is rakes, which as youwill see, they like to use to do some unwantedgardening. We would like to keep the bunkers inplay to the standard they should be but this canbe challenging when having to deal with thesecircumstances.

With this in mind, we are working very hard onreplacing these items and making sure the courseis fit to open on a daily basis before we evenstart our day of cutting the greens and fairwaysbefore you start you round.

Please bear with us and help in any way you canwith the up keep of bunkers and greens. If yousee or hear anything at the club please informus straight away so we can sort this out foreveryone.
