Golf news from Simon, the Golf Course Superintendent

This years Barbados Open was won by Bill Longmuir after a birdie blitz on the back 9 of the final round to finish -10 par. Ian Woosnam made a good start to his senior career with a respectable -4 par and will now compete on the US senior tour.

We recently opened up a new tee on hole number 8 which will lengthen it by 50 yards - it’s a par 4 that's gone from 365 yards to 415 yards from the Gold tee. We also plan to lengthen whole number 5 which is a par 5 at 472 yards and should go up to around 540 yards from the Gold tee.
