Royal St David's has been awarded the Turfgrass Management prize in the 2010 Golf Environment Awards.
The Golf Environment Awards were created in 1997 (originally the BIGGA Golf Environment Competition) to highlight effective and sustainable projects being managed by individual golf courses across the UK and reward the individuals that are making real improvements to their local environment and quality of life for the future.
Congratulations to Roger and his staff for their continued high level of management techniques.
As a continuation of the Bunker Development Plan agreed at the 2009 AGM, the following changes will be carried out during the Winter of 2011/12 (subject to further consultations with STRI and thereafter CCW consent):
- Create one new bunkers on the 3rd hole, on the right hand side of the fairway, at driving distance on the 'raised' ground.
- Reduce the size of the bunker short right of the 7th green.
- Regrade the face of the 'new' bunker on the 8th fairway, at driving distance, to reduce the steepness.
- Raise bunkers and ground level in front of the 11th green.
- Close left hand bunker of four at driving distance to left of 12th. fairway and the bunker short left of green.
