There are to many leaves on the course. Can you get rid of them?

Each year we get asked this question a lot during autumn we cannot completely eliminate leaves. We have trees on the course so we will always have leaves; however we do try to minimise the problem. We often mow over the leaves but as soon as the wind blows, more leaves fall. We could remove the leaves as they fall but this option is not a realistic as we cannot afford to as this would require extra staff and machinery and the cost would be very high for the short time the leaves fall. We could replant the trees with evergreens but this again would require a large financial outlay that we cannot afford. The wind does blow away a large amount of leaves.

The rough is far too long, can you do something about it?

Our rough has always been mown to a height of 40cm(lower than most clubs roughs). However members must be aware and accept that during spring and autumn the growth of grass is at its peak and shortly after mowing the grass, it will have grown. Sometimes if the weather is warm the growth may be faster than normal. Grass is a living plant. It has been suggested we mow the rough shorter, however rough then becomes fairway and if we tried to mow all the rough more often or every day the cost would be prohibitive. Our contractor does mow all our rough at least once a week sometimes more.

Some tips for golfers losing balls:

Use the other three in your group. They should be watching the flight of your ball.
Assist your partner to look for the ball.

Why should I have to pay for my locker every year?

You are renting the lockers from the club, not buying them. The lockers remain the property of the club and there are many costs that the club incurs every year related to the locker room that must be covered by members hiring the lockers. For a very small rental cost less than 10 cents per day you get many benefits, your equipment is locked each night, opened in the morning and has security alarm monitoring seven days a week and you have the ease of access to your equipment without the hassle of loading the car and storing the clubs at home.
Have you ever been to a facility that has lockers for hire? These are often a lot smaller and cost $2.00 for every three hours.
