Cambridge Magazine | March Edition

Dear Members,

As the owner of our beloved country club, I am thrilled to welcome you to the start of another exciting season! After many updates and improvements, I cannot express how excited we are to get back to enjoying all the amenities and activities that make our club such a special place.

The golf season promises to be exceptional, as does our program of events. With winter finally in the rearview mirror, we can look forward to long, sunny days and plenty of opportunities to play the green.

At our club, we are committed to providing an exceptional experience to all members, which is why we've implemented improvements in all departments. In addition to golf, our club offers a wide range of amenities to ensure that your time here is enjoyable and fulfilling. From our state-of-the-art fitness center to our gourmet dining options, there is something for everyone at our club.

I want to thank each and every one of our members for their continued support of our club. Your loyalty and dedication to our community are what make it such a special place to be.

Sincerely, Louise Rody

‘Want the confidence to succeed’

My personal training sessions are enthused with my bubbly personality and my goal is make you want to love life I enjoy every aspect of general health and fitness and can give anyone the confidence they need to succeed

Having had a significant weight loss journey, I have gained a real insight into the challenges of establishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle I have gained an inside knowledge to the benefits of exercise both physically and mentally – you never regret a workout! From being a size 22 and weighing 16 stone, I have successfully lost and maintained over 6 stone and my dress size is now a size 8 to 10. I wanted to feel better about myself and learn about food and planning

It’s now my passion to share this knowledge making exercise fun and simple, to give an easy exercise experience.

Dear Members,

2023 has got off to a tragic start with the unexpected passing of our good friend Trevor Kimber. Trevor was such an asset to Cambridge Country Club working in the Pro Shop and managing our cohort of Marshalls The General Committee will be holding a competition on Friday 7th April in memory of Trevor which will be open to all classes of members to enter.

Last month I advised that the Greens Committee have had a number of discussions with Cambridge Country Club about Winter Management of the course, renovation of the greens and programme of work for 2023. As a result of these discussions the major focus for work to the course in 2023 will be the renovation of all greens and tees. The finalised 2023 Workplan has been sent out to all Members with progress on the plan to be monitored by the Greens Committee over the coming months

As part of this plan all greens have white and yellow posts in front to minimise trolley and pedestrian traffic and preserve the aprons during winter months –MEMBERS PLEASE ENSURE NO TROLLIES or BUGGIES GO BEYOND these markers

As part of improving the presentation of the course the footpath in front of the clubhouse terrace and to the bridge over the brook on the 1st will be completed during the course of the next month weather permitting.

I would also remind Members that Cambridge Country Club will NOT BE INCREASING Golf Members Subscriptions for the period April 2023 – March 2024

The POETS 9-hole Friday evening mixed Stableford competition will restart from 14th April through to end of September details of which will be advised by the Men’s Section

A new summer League team competition is to start from April through to September on midweek evenings. Details to follow from Trevor Peer Men’s Vice Captain who is championing this competition

Last but not least the New Season Opening Day Competition is being held on Saturday 1st April which is open to all classes of Members to enter. If you have not signed up for the first major event of the year, please sign up now

A reminder to Members that if you want to enter competitions in 2023, please ensure your privacy settings on ESP/HDID are set to enable your contact details to be visible.

Sincerely,

DearMembers,

With spring around the corner, we have been busy preparing the course to define all the areas of play

I have also started to overseed the greens that were affected badly from disease going into winter, I hope to get a good take up from the seed and will overseed all the greens again, once the weather warms up.

During February we have managed to finish off the fairway vertidraining this will encourage the roots to grow on the fairways and give us better grass coverage in the future. Unfortunately the last couple of fairways we had to finish got rained on before we could tidy them up, and this caused excess mud We had two choices- either get them done now, or wait until we had better weather, which could have taken us into the growing season and meant we would be too busy to complete them

So for a few days we had some muddy fairways, which now I can say are recovering well and will have good coverage for the season

We have primed up the irrigation system ready for any hot weather that Mother Nature has to throw at us this year I have also been teaching our two new greenkeepers how to look after and repair the system so we can keep it running and keep the greens in good order

Me and the team are excited for the golf season and showcasing this fantastic course in its full glory this year

Sincerely,

Simon Head Greenkeeper
