A word from the pro… Where has 2018 gone? It only seems like 5 minutes ago I was writing about the first major of the year. But so much has happened this year. We had snow in March, Patrick Reed won his first major, we had the fire, England dared us to dream, Tiger won again, and Newcastle won three games on the bounce (Howay the toon). We also had an extremely good summer which resulted in firm fast fairways, whispy rough and excellent greens. These weather conditions were tricky for the greenkeepers to work with, but I think you will all agree they handled it perfectly. Now the weather is the complete opposite. Cold, wet and windy. This has left the course soggy and wet but still the greens remain in great condition. When the weather turns sour and the course starts to get wet under foot, it is great to see golfers out there.
