It was the first round of the Grimwade Trophy last Saturday. It's a Board Event, so normal practise is to put the tees right back and the pins in ridiculously difficult positions. However, with the forecast of heavy rain and strong winds, might common sense have prevailed with tee and pin positions eased up somewhat?
Doesn't look like it judging from the scores recorded.
On a different topic, there is someone in charge at the club who really has no idea. Recently we have seen a number of bunkers with evidence of being "machine raked" with a raking mechanism towed behind a tractor of some sort. While we all agree that bunkers need to be maintained, this machine raking is actually leaving the bunkers in worse condition. The tyre ruts left in bunkers after raking are worse than no raking at all. The workers doing this obviously think their job is to "rake the bunkers" irrespective of the end result. Actually, their job is to IMPROVE the condition of the bunkers, not make them worse.
I know the work involved does not require great intellectual capacity, but surely the workers should understand the objective of the work they do. And if they don't, then whoever supervises them certainly should. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case.
