Last week brought torrential rain and cold weather, this week isn't much better, but at least the rain has seen the course pick up a bit. With moderate growth in most places we are starting to see what Malton and Norton Golf Club can be like once more. After a couple of days of cutting to tidy areas up we can see a bit of definition and how the course is going to 'shape' up this season.
We are still along way off summer conditions but all the Green staff have worked tirelessly to help improve the course this winter and throughout spring, the team we have are a credit to the club.
Other than the regular cutting tasks the staff have been topping up paths and tracks with fresh stone.
