Petrol and diesel supplies guaranteed to golf and sports clubs
HOT on the heels of the launch of their long-awaited product, the Petrol Station, comes an agreement between Course Care and national fuel supplier, CPL, which guarantees delivery of small quantities of petrol and diesel to golf and sport clubs anywhere in the country. David Mears told us, “Since we launched the Petrol Station at the beginning of the month we have been inundated with enquiries for the product. However, there has been some reluctance from customers because of the uncertainty of fuel supplies. Some fuel companies are unprepared to deliver in the small quantities our customers want. “We are delighted to say that we have
now reached a deal with CPL, a reputable national supplier, who are prepared to deliver fuel in quantities as small as 500 litres. This will give customers the comfort they need. Not
‘maybe we in some small way we could give the islanders something to help’. Who knew? And then we arrived. At first, on the drive up, I could only compare it to Kingsbarn’s flat farmland, but when you arrive at the dunes, wow! And remember this is all made by nature! The crystal blue sea framing the whole picture. The course the islanders had been playing was great, though a runway put in at some stage had split the course, and some greens were not original. So we started to investigate. At first we went south. Now, I have been to County Down, Birkdale, Lahinch and, of late, Doonbeg, all of which are must play courses, but this site took my breath away. And to think Old Tom had been here was fantastic. For every rounding of a dune another hole appeared. If ever there was a heaven for links golf this was it, every one in the party was agape. We managed to find what we thought were
green sites, they had been touched at sometime, but it was hard to find routing to them because of the landscape’s ability to produce a hole on every turn. However, in the end the course designed itself. On many of the holes we even joked “where should we go now?”, the holes were just so obvious.
The north of the course was a little more gentle but nonetheless interesting and challenging. We also found green sites that were almost to good to be true, along with some of the natural bunkers, which can only be described as nothing short of fantastic.
If all goes to plan the islanders will be able to offer the course to the public in 2007-8 and, if the welcome is anything like we received, it’s worth it just for that. When finished, it is a must play site to experience links golf as it was, not commercial, not green, but just a challenge. This is not man against man, but man against nature. The upside of this is a course which is at one with nature and, with careful management, will stand up as a pillar of environmentally friendly golf. One maybe never to be repeated. The sheep will always graze the links in the winter along with cattle, but this just adds to the atmosphere of the place. Life goes on with the links in the middle. How much more honest does it get? This for me is the essence of the great game and I hope Old Tom would be proud of what we are trying to achieve.
