The Green Reopens

Our fantastic greenskeeper team is happy to announce that the green reopened Wednesday, April 9 at 10 AM.  Please note there may be some sand on the green which may be picked up by bowls.  If there is sand on your rink, we ask you not to use rakes or squeegees.

The green has made a quick recovery from the Spring drill and sand maintenance, reopening just 17 days after the workday. Just a couple of years ago, a cloudy and cool Spring delayed reopening by two months so we are lucky this year. As bowling resumed today there was some sand evident on the green but the bowls behaved well. It will get better as the days progress.

As a reminder, please make sure to read the notice board in the equipment shed for information related to using the green, such as bowling direction, rink color, and green sheet status.

Update on 10 April: after bowling today I can report that the green is still pretty sandy. If you have new, shiny bowls it might be best to use alternates in the near term.
