Below is the latest course report from Greg Evans
Weatherwise, it’s been a funny spring this year, which has affected growth on golf courses across the country. Currently we are still having light frosts, which is unusual for this time of year. The surfaces at Cottesmore may well be uneven and bumpy (the greens in particular) due to the weather.
The focus for the last month has been getting the nine new-layout Phoenix holes up to the same standard as the Griffin greens. Things are progressing nicely and areas such as the new 10th fairway bunker (2nd Phoenix) and main tee on the new 2nd have been turfed.
The speed of the greens is okay but the ball roll is bumpy. The Poa is going to seed at the moment and the unsettled programme due to the work on the Phoenix may have affected the regularity of your programme somewhat.

BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer - Launching on 6th June 2015
With the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer, BMW has carved out yet another new vehicle segment. With its generous space, versatility and ground-breaking flexibility, the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is the world's first premium compact model to offer up to seven seats and fully meet the mobility requirements of young families. In addition to the standard version, the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is available in a further four model variants.
Compact yet capacious - Despite its compact dimensions, measuring just 4,556 millimetres long, 1,800 mm wide and 1,608 mm high - the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer offers ample space and a generous luggage compartment that can be extended in capacity from 645 to 805 litres.
Thanks to the new "myKIDIO" app (initially available in Germany only), long journeys can be fun even for younger passengers. The app makes its debut in the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer and provides appropriate content for children and families - e.g. feature films, series, audio books and audio plays - on tablets such as the Apple iPad to keep rear passengers entertained.
To find out more about the new 2 Series Gran tourer or to book a space at the Launch on 6th June call Vines of Gatwick BMW: 01293 611117. *not in conjunction with any other offers.
