Greetings one and all,

Hello one and all, another week passes by and another week of news from CMGC hits your inbox.

It may be winter but we are certainly not in winter mode within the golf centre. The 2018 diary is being put together, our 12-month marketing plan is half done and the 2018 Opens have now been confirmed. Many think this time of year is holiday mode for us, but it is all about forward planning and preparation for 2018.

Anyone wanting some winter golf, our winter offers are now here. Simply call us on 01299 271112 and quote ‘Winter is Coming’ to get the breakfast special.

Personalise Your Balls.

I have a confession, whilst out playing with a friend last week I hit my second shot into the bunker on the 8th of Badgers. I went up to it, saw it was a Titleist and hit it out, I then approached the hole to tap in for par only to see it was a Titleist, but unfortunately not mine! Lesson learnt… it is time to order some personalised balls.

You can have up to 3 lines of text and 17 characters per line. These make great presents for both friends and family. We have already had seen some funny ones on order between mates so get your orders in now ready for Christmas.

It literally takes 5 minutes to do, the balls get delivered to CMGC and you pay upon collection. Normally a two week turn around and we will email you when they arrive in store.

Greenkeeping Work

With frozen conditions on Monday and rain on Tuesday the greenkeeping team were able to make a start on some tree removal and thinning projects on the advice we received from the experts at STRI. The team started on the 2nd hole on Badgers Sett, which sees light restricted to the right hand side of the green. With more light and air now reaching these areas we can expect better playing surfaces and quicker recovery from what is both a popular spot for miss hit tee shots and also high traffic areas for next season

The team then made a start on the 8th hole on Badgers Sett with the plantation to the right hand side of the fairway. This area had become too densely populated and needed managing in order to create age and species diversity, as well as ensuring the ecology was not damaged. When conditions allow, the team will also hire a stump grinder to complete the work, but in the mean time should your ball finish next to a tree stump or pile of logs please treat it as GUR.

As mentioned last week, we may close 9 holes at a time whilst this work is going on, so if you plan on playing, especially between 9am and 10.30am then please book a tee time as these times can and do get busy.

Rainbow Cancer Care Cheque Presentation

On Friday 10th November at 2.30pm Jon and Ange Gaskell will be holding their cheque presentation up here at the golf club. The money raised from events such as The Rainbow Cancer Care Foundation Golf Day and Night Golf will be handed on over and it would be great to see a few faces up here to support Jon and Ange. There may even be some of Ange’s famous homemade cakes on offer as well!
