Repairing pitch marks on our greens is vital to the health and condition of the turf and to ensure the best possible putting surface for all golfers.

During winter our greens are more susceptible to pitch marks as they are softer so we tend to see more and deeper pitch marks appearing on our greens. 

It is very important that all members play their part in making sure they repair their own pitch mark and any others that have been left unrepaired.

A two minute clip showing the best technique for repairing pitch marks can be seen below.

If we all work together we can make our golf course better.

A vitally important aspect of caring for your golf course is ensuring that you always rake the bunker correctly after playing your shot.

Failure to rake a bunker after use is very poor etiquette and is unfair on fellow golfers who may end up having to play their shot from a bad lie.

Please take the time to watch the above video on the correct way to rake a bunker.

Golfers at MGC should note that when finished raking the bunker, the rake must be left in the bunker in the direction of play.
