I'm pleased to welcome our new greenkeeper Richard Malthouse who started on Friday to replace Mark. He has had worked at Scarborough North Cliff for around 6 years before joining us. I'm sure he is going to make a great addition to the team. We have thrown him in at the deep end as cutting is non stop in these wet, warm times. The course when cut up looks fantastic, however the semi and intermediate rough is still causing players problems so we have taken the decision to lower the semi rough to 44mm opposed to 50mm and the intermediate rough to 100mm opposed to 150mm. It was the seniors open day today so we groomed and cut greens, cut tees, cut fairways, cut semi and moved holes.
