Tour News
The first big tournament of the year, the Sentry TOC was played on the Plantation Course in picturesque Kapalua Hawaii. Shooting a course record equaling final day 62 (-11) saw Xander Schauffele pip overnight leader Gary Woodland to a 1 shot victory. During the tournament many of the new rules changes were applied of which one in particular raised a few eyebrowns causing a stir on social media. We shall explore these rules changes in greater detail over the coming weeks but what is certain is that the tour professionals are already using them to good effect.

On Course with Martin McGavock
The agronomy team have been using up their annual leave over the past and current weeks, earning a well-earned break after a year of hard work, though small projects continue throughout the winter. Below we touch on a few of these going on in the background:
You may have noticed the work going on in this area where we are creating a landscape bed for flowering plants and shrubs. This 2-4m buffer zone between the practice area and hotel will provide a landscaping theme that will both blend with the golf course and other surrounding landscape at the hotel. It also helps us as we don’t have grass right at the hotel front, minimizing sprinkler water drift onto the hotel. This project involves the relocation of grass, irrigation and cabling followed by creating a soil base, installing landscape irrigation and finally the planting of flowers and shrubs.
Turf Nursery
Outside the border of hole 14 we are creating an area of 13,600m2 to be used as a turf nursery for both fairway/tee and rough grasses. This project is in the early stages with the ground having been cleared and raised at present. In the months ahead we will be excavation for a sand layer and trenching for full irrigation to the same specification that we have on the golf course. The primary use of this nursery will be for replacing areas of contaminated grass (where seed from greens was blown onto fairways/tees during course construction) to provide a uniform surface as intended – our main areas of priority for this are foregreens which contain amounts of greens grass. The turf will also be used to replace areas that are damaged from things like summer stress and cart/machine traffic damage. We will update as the project progresses.
17th Golf Mad Pro Am
We glad to announce that two teams are fully booked and we wish them a great game in February while new options for trips will be announced soon. Return matches to Russia and Kazan together with St.Petersburg to discover new golf courses from famous designers. Keep yourself open for a great trips with Dreamland Golf Club.
