It has been a very busy week with some mixed weather. The course is playing well although with the recent rain it has been playing a little longer than usual for this time of year. With perfect conditions for the grass to grow the green keepers are being kept busy cutting and preparing the course for our various open events. Thank you to all the members who helped the green keepers a week last Tuesday with the re seeding of the worn areas. The comments I received after the seniors open were all very positive and complimentary of the course especially the quality of the greens.

Congratulations to Sean Mccarthy who shot his lowest ever competitive round at Shrewsbury Golf Club whilst competing in the Corrie Cup last Saturday. Sean's three under par 67 brings his handicap down to 0.7.
