As proud members of the Moor Park Golf Club, we write to the club & board with a shared sense of pride in our esteemed club's legacy and the vital role it plays within our community. Our club's courses stand as a testament to our collective dedication to excellence in golfing facilities.

However, recent feedback among the members has underscored significant concerns regarding the condition and maintenance of our cherished courses. Issues such as inadequate drainage, compromised playability, and diminishing aesthetics have been brought to our attention, prompting a unified call for action to uphold the standards we hold dear.

In light of these pressing concerns, we respectfully request the organisation of a minuted meeting to address these critical matters. The meeting would present an invaluable opportunity for us to come together as a community and collaboratively tackle the challenges facing our courses.

Some notable points we would like clarification on:

- Patchy fairways and rough that appear to have lost seeding
- Major sanding 2-3 times a year
- Standing water (e.g. 5th West, 13th High 100-170 yards out, left rough on 16th High)
- Tyre tracks in fairways (e.g. 11th High)
- Uneven/messy tee boxes (e.g. 8th West, 16th High)
- Lack of GUR markings
- Not closing courses during overly wet conditions
- Drainage/pipe leaks (why they are leaking and how/when they will be fixed)
- Leak down the 1st on the High which could cause a Health and Safety issue (e.g. if someone slips on the path)

With the participation of the Head Greenkeeper and all relevant greenkeeping staff, the proposed agenda for the meeting will encompass the following key points:

  1. Presentation of Current Course Conditions: A comprehensive overview of the existing state of the courses, highlighting specific areas of concern and challenges requiring immediate attention.
  2. Overview of Maintenance Work: A detailed report outlining recent maintenance efforts, including any noteworthy projects or improvements implemented to enhance course quality.
  3. Future Maintenance Plans: Presentation of proposed maintenance strategies aimed at rectifying identified issues and improving overall course conditions. This will include transparent discussions on anticipated costs and timelines for implementation.
  4. Course Improvement Targets: Establishment of clear objectives for course condition enhancement, with defined targets for improvement over the winter period and strategies for sustaining optimal green growth during the summer months. Whether the appointment of an external consultant can validate our strategy or advise on improvements.

We propose to hold the meeting no later than 30th June, providing ample time for necessary preparations. Moor Park's prompt attention to this matter and cooperation in facilitating the meeting arrangements are greatly appreciated.

To demonstrate our collective support for this initiative, we urge fellow members to sign the attached petition, endorsing the call for a meeting and reaffirming our commitment to upholding the standards of excellence at the Moor Park Golf Club.

Thank you for considering this urgent request. We eagerly anticipate your positive response and the opportunity to work together in safeguarding the future of our cherished golfing community.

Yours sincerely
Members of Moor Park Golf Club
