Great appointment that.

Work starts next winter sometime but there has been a few minor tweaks over the last few weeks.

A sophisticated computer controlled Odvan prevention system?

It will be interesting to see what changes he'll make? Not sure if it'll be like a Wentworth type job, I hope not, think the changes will be more subtle. Only time will tell.

I have to watch what I say but he has made a fair few changes already, we have had gorse bushed removed and trees taken down already as it's going back to more heathland and looking at his other work it will be very good for the hotchkin course.

Everytime he plays the hotchkin the git has a birthday round, it's very annoying.

Given that he called the redesigned West course "the wreck" in his Confidential Guide, the changes ought to be more subtle

Interesting, sounds a bit like when Moortown went back to their original design 3-4yrs ago when they hacked a lot of trees down and became more open.

Let Birchy loose with his big clumpy 8 stone shovels, and he wont need any earth moving equipment.

Has he upgraded as they look better than his current shovels.

I could beat you two with a bag full of tree branches never mind shovels.

Useless pair of choppers
