COURSE OPENING ALL 27 HOLES
Dear Apeldör family,
Good news is rare in these times.
Not so with us. Our greenkeepers have done everything they can to keep our course playable for you in winter. We have already seen the results in the last few weeks and months. The fairways and greens are freshly mown and the visual impression really makes you want to play golf.
From now on we want to open all 27 holes daily from 10:30 a.m. and thus suspend the previous winter rules. Come to your club and enjoy the good weather and relaxed golf on summer greens. Unfortunately, trolleys are not yet permitted.
Our “Heidi” will bake extra delicious cakes, so that our terrace invites you to take a little break, whether after a round of golf or as a relaxing weekend.
Starting times: To ensure that everyone can play fairly, players will start from all 1st tees (red, yellow and green) for 9 holes each. Please book your starting time via PC Caddie. A second starting time is required for a further 9 holes. We plan to keep this rule as long as the weather permits.
Have fun!
The first kitchen party at Apeldör
Kitchen party “our way” on 24.01.25
How did this happen?
At the beginning of 2024, the service and kitchen team got together. They wanted something new. All the suggestions from the teams were compiled and worked out. The idea: to work together with our partners. It was a team decision! Last Friday, 115 guests were able to experience the result. The motto of our kitchen party: fewer seats than guests, so that everyone can keep moving and make new contacts. Socializing is a top priority!
Managing Director Manfred Rathsack and Restaurant Manager Diane Little opened the evening with a welcome address in which the individual Life Stations were introduced. The highly motivated Apeldör service team, the "Dithmarscher Brauerei" and "Getränke Tadsen" provided a wide variety of drinks. From "Long Island Ice Tea" to "Hoptails", an exquisite selection of wines including expertise and much more, no wish remained unfulfilled.Our well-prepared kitchen team, "Feinkäserei Sarzbüttel", Krabben und Fisch aus Tönning (KFT), two sushi masters from "Go by Steffen Henssler" and our apprentice Laura spoiled the guests at our Life Stations with delicious gratinated cheese, cheese skewers, fish variations, shrimp cocktails, kale, homemade pulled pork burgers, sushi, waffles and Heidi's cake. There was everything from home cooking to extravagant dishes.
For “non-golfers” there was the opportunity to learn more about golf and club life from Ralf Schill and also to secure a trial course.
In a relaxed atmosphere and in a good mood, great conversations were had. From 9 p.m. onwards, DJ Frank Möller got the guests going. People danced and laughed until the early hours. Going home was only one option. Our hotel manager Martina Wagenknecht had taken precautions and reserved and offered the entire hotel for our guests at a top price so that they could enjoy the evening to the full, which was gladly accepted.
Our conclusion:
A successful evening! A culinary journey for the eyes and the palate with a good atmosphere, lots of conversation and an exuberant party. This is exactly how we imagined the kitchen party.
Many thanks to our partners at the Life Stations, our guests and DJ Frank Möller. You made the evening great. We are very satisfied.
Your Apeldör team
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!
