@hiltonparkgolf
Clubhouse path getting a wash, new 7th tee well underway, burst drain repair at the 9th Allander going well & sand redistributed in the bunkers.
Tomorrow the Allander greens will be getting top dressed.
HPGC greens staff have cut pieces of pipe insulation and painted the faces to seal the surface this will fill in the lower part of the hole for easy ball removal. Please leave the fags in at all times and only remove your own ball from the cup.

Fine morning for a round.
Played 18 holes on the Allander last night a personal thank you to everyone who played in the medal yesterday I hardly saw an unrepaired pitch mark on any green. Please follow this example & continue doing so playing a bounce game.

Tree work showing it's worth, in front of the tee where the trees have been removed the sun is able to shine through onto the turf & melt the lying snow. Further down the hole the problem of tree shading can be clearly seen.
This also effect the drying time after rain.
2nd March
Full courses in play for the day.
Two eighteen hole courses an indoor simulator to play anywhere you like, Pro Shop to cater for your everyday golf needs, fantastic food & drink in the Clubhouse , no better place to be today.
Summer just around the corner
Play well
5th lorry load of logs on their way to the Biomass plant. Very good return from vital tree work carried out throughout the winter allowing more air & light onto the play surface. The tree management plan going well.

Pic 3 pipe removed, water running free again.

Long hard week for Ryan, Gordon, Julie & myself.
Thanks again for all the effort.
Never thought I would say this but missing seeing golfers taking divots out the fairways & making pitch marks on the greens then most of the time replacing or repairing them!

Our Professional team enjoyed a 3 hour training session today from Trackman expert Michael Paterson. Taking a deep dive into the key numbers, the reporting and communications, our team learned how to really enhance the coaching and custom fitting experience 👍
@TrackManMichael
Fairway aeration work starts 3/10/22. This work is carried out by a Contractor, they do not stop for golfers. Would all players please note they must pick their ball up and go to the next tee when contractor is working, technically the holes they are working on are closed.
