Today is Thank a Greenkeeper Day
A chance to reflect on the hard work that greenkeeping and maintenance teams put in every day, to ensure the game of golf can be enjoyed by millions around the world. ⬇
The 18th at Pine Valley Golf Club: a fittingly epic conclusion to an unparalleled battle with the hand of man and Mother Nature. A 483yd par-4 beginning with a tee shot to a fairway surrounded with trouble, followed by an approach up and over a stream and a wall of bunkers to a huge, canted green.
A golfer holes his putt here and is immediately hit with mixed emotions: happy for having survived such a test, sad for it being the end, and grateful for having had the opportunity.
