On Course With Martin McGavock
With the Government only granting work permissions to 50% of our team during quarantine our “Half Crew Hero’s!!” have stepped up in the summer heat to present the golf course in exceptional condition. Enhancements to our irrigation system last winter by Martin have resulted in the best playing conditions we have ever seen at Dreamland Golf Club. The big news is that our sand bunkers will “Return to Playability” as the team restore the sand layer and put out our new rakes which we ask players to USE EVERY TIME they enter the Bunker!
