UPDATE 3

First experiences with the winter track sequence

POSITIVE!!! We were surprised ourselves at how well the new drainage systems did their job. Last week it was 84 liters and the pitch and the drained paths "swallowed" this amount of rain much better than expected.

The comments from our members were surprisingly positive, including for the combination of the 10 courses:

Start RED 1,2,9 continue on GREEN 1,2,3,8,9 Finale on YELLOW 1&9

As soon as the weather conditions allow, we will continue – even in the winter months. However, we want to prevent the construction machinery from putting too much strain on the site.

THE FLAGPOLE

An object that has occupied us for years in many different ways. Until now, it was simply a question of "To use or to leave in?", but now the variety of bale removal after the small ball has been pocketed is a slightly annoying topic.

Some bend down and try to "fish" the ball out of the narrow border between the edge of the hole and the flagpole with two fingers. Risk of injury to the edge of the hole: HIGH

In order to avoid serious orthopedic injuries when bending over, we have purchased advanced flagpoles with a small integrated plate, which allows the ball to be removed at arm height by lifting the flagpole. It really couldn't be more comfortable, and yet the method of removing the flagpole is often adventurous.

The flags are too often "torn out" slightly at an angle and unconsciously and certainly unintentionally. Risk of injury to the perforated edge: VERY HIGH

Just pull it vertically upwards and everything will be fine!

Let's get to the point: Whether with a flag or without a flag - please be a little more sensitive with the hole edge when removing the golf ball. A sharp hole edge helps each of us when putting! Around 40% of your shots on an 18-hole round are putts!
