Hi from the Marbella Golf Maintenance Team.
First of all, I would like to thank all the Marbella Golf team : Mike Munden , General Manager ; Sandra Lama, administrator ; the marshalling staff, caddymaster, the executive committee, Pacific Golf headquarters in San Francisco, our members and especially my greenkeeping staff, above all my crew forman Pepe, for their dedication and united effort to bring Marbella Golf Club back to a very high standard. A golf club is a living organism.
We still have a lot of work to do, but let me explain you some of the improvements that we are working on:
Greens Program:
In the last couple of months Marbella Golf has developed and instituted a comprehensive greens maintenance program. Due to our popularity with the golfers last Fall, we put off the necessary hollow coring of the greens until very late. Because it was done so late in the year, we had to work very hard to get the greens back into shape by implementing a comprehensive feeding and fertilizing program, combined with an application of Bio Rain, a growth accelerator, the greens are now in the best shape of recent years. The members and guests are enjoying the lightning fast speeds and the trueness of the lines.
