hi all.

[kippax]

hi,

im 26, and from Anglesey, N.Wales. Ive recently started playing golf again after a break of a few years. I was a greenkeeper for 4yrs (1997-2001) on a links course, during that time and for a few years after i stopped playing, as seeing the course every day with work was enough for me. Ive recently joined 3 different societies so I can play a variety of courses, and having had a week off work last week i used that time to play 4 courses in my area,all courses were new to me. I played quite well and am looking forwards to my next outing tomorow(got to go and do a 12hr night shift now though! )

hope to chat to y'all soon
kip.

Welcome to the trap.

What kind of work is it a greenkeeper on british links course? I thought you guys let the elements rule the game, no sprinkler systems, etc ok, ok, I'm the first one to fall for it. What's up with that signature ?

It looks like something in Welsh to me.

Welcome to the trap.

Hi mate, the course i worked on was in the process of putting in a sprinkler system when i left, in the summer there was hardly any grass on the fairways as a couple of days of sun would burn the grass. In the winter is where you'd see the difference, when other courses would be closed or unplayable due to waterlogging it would barely affect a links. Here is a link tothe course's website-http://www.angleseygolfclub.co.uk/

ok, ok, I'm the first one to fall for it. What's up with that signature ?

Its the first line of the welsh national anthem, and it means-

'mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi' 'the old land of my fathers is dear to me' kip
