Project Clubfit
The Simulator room is soon to transform from a basic shell, with the place being a hive of activity this week with the following work being carried out:
All walls have been plastered and are ready for painting.
The security alarm has been installed.
Installation of the electric shutters on Friday.
All electrical work completed by Friday.
Ready for the simulator to be delivered and installation starting Monday.
We can't wait! The bar and beer fridge is arriving tomorrow too!
Work has also continued this week on the short game area despite the weather with Dave Hutchinson and his team shifting a 120 tonne delivery of Rootzone, this will be left to settle over the New Year ready for the finishing touches in the spring.
A minute with the Coach
Well my first thought each morning is "Will the driving range be dry enough to get the ball collector out today"?
It is frustrating that we have to keep closing the driving range but due to the wet soft ground the ball collector drives over the balls and pushes them underground meaning we lose too many balls. I have continued with my lessons and picked the balls up by hand, not one of my favourite pastimes. We will review the driving range on a daily basis.
While there is no tournaments, I've been having regular catch-ups with Jack Senior, fine tuning in preparation for his tour events in South Africa in the New Year.
Also with my Tour guys, some positive news this week with Gary Wolstenholme finishing 7th in the MCB Tour Championship in Mauritius, ensuring a top 30 finish for the season.
This week was the first week I didn't have to re-schedule my regular winter guys and I'm pleased to report Anthony Palmer is now "half-full". Friends of Anthony will know this is a great achievement!
May I wish you all a Merry Christmas... Mine's a Carling!
