The longest hole in history

We all love a challenge; beating a personal best or doing something outside of our comfort zone. That feeling of having achieved something beyond what we normally would.

In an attempt to raise $100,000 for children’s charities, one man and his caddie (subsequently joined by an adopted dog on their journey) set out to complete the longest hole in history; a par 14,000 carved out of difficult Mongolian terrain, culminating at the 18th green of Mt. Bogd Golf Club.

It took them 82 days to trek the 2011km hole, facing rocky ground, swamps, icy water and desert in the process – click on the link below to view their video. With only 134 balls lost – with one ball lasting 65km! – the man holed a nervy seven-footer to complete the longest hole in history in 20,093 shots, just the mere 6,093 over par. A really special achievement for some fantastic charities.

Watch their journey here.

Draining Greens 5th + Putting Green

Drainage on the 5th green is no longer working causing us problems with maintenance and poor playability.

Work has started this week to install a new drainage system. A contractor will cut the drain lines with a chain trencher. The greenstaff will install drains, stone and rootzone, finally turfing and making good the green. It is envisaged that the green will be out for six weeks. Play will be to a prepared temporary green on the 5th fairway.

The putting green will be drained during the week. At present there is no drainage system in the putting green, which leaves it unplayable for weeks on end during wet weather. This will also be out of use for six weeks.

Sorry for any inconvenience - David Everett, Head Greenkeeper
