Newsletter April 2024

Newsletter April 2024

Dear Member,

New director at KGK

I am proud to introduce myself as your new director and hereby write my very first newsletter to you.

I have already experienced a fantastic reception here at the club, and the warm welcome from both staff and members has made a big impression on me. I am deeply impressed by the initiatives that KGK has launched in recent years, and I see a significant opportunity to contribute to our continued development. Thank you all so much for the warm welcome. Below you will find current news from KGK.

Course status:

Despite a particularly wet and long winter, we have done well. The greens and fairways are surprisingly intact, despite the many deer and heavy rainfall. The course is in great shape considering the time of year.

The bunkers and our par 3 course have had a tougher time; the par 3 course in particular has been exposed due to its soft soil and deer traffic. Our driving range, like the par 3 course, has been challenged by water pressure. Although we have installed fascines to deal with the situation, a permanent solution such as drainage is difficult due to the conservation status of the area. We continue to work on a permanent solution.

Driving Range – opening April 21, 2024

We are pleased to announce that the driving range will open on April 21, 2024. Due to the continued moisture in the ground, players will be required to use mandatory winter mats. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these challenges.

To ensure safe and comfortable use for everyone, please follow these important guidelines:

  • Using winter mats: Due to the humidity in the ground, all players must use winter mats when hitting.
  • Show consideration: Keep your distance and respect other players' space and concentration. Minimize noise and avoid unnecessary disruption, especially when other players are preparing to play.
  • Clean up after yourself: Remember to return mats and ball buckets to their place after use.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding - it helps us keep the training facilities in top condition.
