This was the first County event of the season and special thanks goes to Wollaton Park GC and its staff. The effort put in by the Greenstaff to present the course so well so early in the season is to be commended. It was particularly pleasing to see the Chair of Greens Neil Swift attending and great to see someone so passionate about his role.
Great thanks to the rest of the staff who are so welcoming, we really do enjoy bringing events to Wollaton.
It would be remiss of me not to mention the invaluable help of head Professional Martyn Brown, who was always on hand to help on these days.
