The Presentation Evening on the 26th October was a great success, Farnham Golf Club providing a great venue and delicious food.
Martin had been busy getting all of the trophies engraved and laid out for all to view.
The usual suspects had found the bar early and got there wine and beer in ready for a delicious meal; a bit of trading went on with the starters with Prawn Cocktails being exchanged for Potato and Leak soup.
After dinner the trophies were presented, President John made a short but good speech and throw in a surprise of a rediscovered President Trophy. This was awarded to Barry Lee for the excellent work he has done for the club over many years.

Due to a very dry summer and the green being built on an unstable base, the green has sunk in many places. The club had two real options (doing nothing was not considered an option).
Option 2 was taken and quotes obtained, a contractor was chosen and work began in late September. This is part of a 3 year programme but, in parallel, funding is being sought which may give other options for year 2.
The green on 28th September shortly after the initial work completed
The Green on the 5th October, the grass is fighting back
The Green on the 19th October, the holes being slowly filled
Major renovation work took place in January. The edge by Canterbury Road has been lifted and levelled. The middle of the edge had to be raised five inches, some new side boards were added and the area re-turfed. The green has been vertidrained (deep aeration to a depth of between 8”-10”) hence the large spiky machine
Levelling across the rest of the green is continuing with more top soil gradually being applied to the dips; another ton of top soil is about to be ordered.
