Divot day

On Wednesday we held a divot day at the club. This was to help the green staff divot the fairways on the course, but it also gave members a chance to talk to green staff about course work and setup.
I'm pleased to say we had a very positive turnout, the afternoon session saw around 12 members, the evening session over 50 gave up there own time to help finish fairways and tees on holes 1-19. 
I want to pass on my thanks to all who turned up to help throughout the day, I appreciate the effort and time our members gave, it is members like those who care for the club that makes Malton a great place to play. We had volunteers from age 8 to 70 all did there bit to help. 
We hope to hold another divot day in September so please put your name down for that if you can.
