What happens to my tee-off time if there is frost?
If there is frost, tee-off times may be delayed to protect the course, especially the greens. On frost days, the first tee-off time will usually be around 9.20am. We will normally make the call the night before and email booked players if their tee-off time needs to move.

How do I repair a pitch mark on the green?
Please repair a pitch mark as soon as you walk onto the green. If you cannot find your own pitch mark, please repair someone else’s. This helps keep the greens in the best possible condition for all players.

1. Identify the “back” of the ball mark. This is the side of the dent that has all of the turf pushed up to it.

2. Insert your pitch repair tool at a 45ᴼ angle behind the wall of compressed turf, ensuring that the bulk of the displaced turf is between the tool and the dent.

3. Gently push the top of the tool towards the ball mark, moving the surrounding turf to fill in the mark.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 a maximum of 4 times or until the ball mark is completely filled. Be careful to do this gently and don’t overdo it to avoid root damage.

5. NEVER prise the hole upwards - this damages the root structure, leaves a scar and makes repair more difficult
