Dear Member, 

I am delighted to announce the appointment of PGA Professional, Ollie Woj to our teaching/coaching ranks here at MGC.  While Ollie will be available for individual lessons he can’t wait to get started on Clinics for Juniors and Women and also creating a fun pathway to golf and membership.

Ollie, along with long time MGC Professional Michael Faraone now form a fantastic coaching team here at the Club.  We are incredibly lucky to have retained the teaching services of Michael and now with Ollie on board, MGC really is the place to come to improve your game.

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.
