Tees are not cut in the winter
operation will firm up the greens, reduce thatch levels and help them drain more quickly. I’ve had a good quote from a local contractor to do all the greens, and the committee has agreed to invest in this option.”
Having spent a couple of hours walking the course with Kenny, you could not help but admire what he and Alistair are achieving on a daily basis, and this is largely down to their enthusiasm for the job.
As we made our way back to the shed to get some respite from the persistent rain, Kenny pointed out a sign dedicating a path to the ‘voice of rugby’, BBC commentator Bill McLaren, who was a native of Hawick and a lifelong member
at the club. He also showed me a cairn, on top of which was a plaque highlighting just what may be seen from that vantage point. This was completed in 2008 and, as Kenny stated, enhances the golfing experience. Kenny’s shed was packed with relatively new equipment that the club has acquired on a five year leasing agreement. “The club has been as supportive as they could have been in difficult financial times, as this new equipment will confirm,” stressed Kenny. “Yes, it would be great to have additional staff, as that would mean we could start to make improvements rather than fire-fighting. But, the likelihood of it happening is not on the cards at this present time.”
