At the beginning of January I made a promise to myself that I would learn how to use the blog on Trefloyne.com! Well January has been and gone and still no blog so today is the day I learn to blog!
After the “big freeze” Trefloyne was slowly starting to come back together and resemble a golf course again, even the green keepers were surprised at getting the grass cut. That was of course until we woke on Saturday morning to what can only be described as a white out. Big fluffy snowflakes settling on a big white blanket, another day the course is closed because of the white stuff.
Time to get to tough and for yet another staff brain storming meeting, after several hours of cursing the snow we came up with a viable solution to our problem we could offer the snow covered golf course as a training ground for the Great British Olympic Cross Country Ski team just in time for the start of the winter Olympics in Canada (www.vancouver2010.com/olympic) this month. The club house into a ski lodge serving Vin Chaud and Fondue and Oliver our resident PGA Professional decided to have a change of career and train to be a ski service engineer and stock Salomon instead of Glenmuir. It’s a win win situation!!
Of course the reality is the snow never last long in Pembrokeshire so with a bit of positive thinking and probably lots of rain the snow will melt and the golf course will once again be ready for play this week.
Look forward to seeing you on the course soon
