Golf
This year the greens have been hammered. We’ve had one storm after another, which has been a killer blow for us
Signage on the course
Richard told me: “It’s a strange mix. On the first nine, we have one green which is USGA‐spec. All the others are mixed original soil and rootzone, which were done twenty years ago. Then they were re‐turfed about ten years ago due to thatch build‐up.” “All the new ones in the land are USGA‐ spec, and we rebuilt four of the older ones quite recently. The ones getting battered by the water are some of the new ones.” “The theory was that, being built on sand
as they are up there, we would be able to flush them through with fresh water when they were spoilt.”
“They’ve held up well. They’re into their fourth winter, and it was fine for the first three, because the storms were generally south‐westerly until this year. But, as you’ll see, this year they’ve been hammered. We’ve had one storm after another, which has been a killer blow for us.” “And that’s where it gets unusual. The
holes right here up to the cliff edge [right by the clubhouse] are pure sand; absolutely pure sand. Then, a little further south, it’s fertile sandy loam. Then, you head out onto the point and its grey‐coloured clay.” “You can see the cliff edge though, and that’s that pure sand again. Unfortunately, that’s on a lower level of the base [it was only visible due to the erosion of the cliffs], so we don’t have the luxury of working with that on those holes.”
