Upgrade to the 5th and 7th greens. We now have Machinery on site and work has commenced on the 5 th and 7th greens. Lots of activity levelling and salvaging the topsoil. This has created a few questions regarding GUR and drop zones. Currently we only have one Drop Zone on the left of the 5 th Fairway. I have requested that more drop zones be installed.

Members, Over the past couple of weeks there has been a number of issues with members being able to see the results in the portal. At first we thought it may have something to do with the App but have found out its actually a bug in the back end of the operating system. MSL have not been able to find out how the bug gets in creating duplicate score with some members getting ridiculous  scores like 84 in the 2BBB They have come up with a way off fixing it  for the moment so I will make sure that its operating correctly,  If when you finish your round and you cant see your 4BBB score just mention it to the pro shop staff and it will be fixed straight away. As far as the leaderboard in the clubhouse is concerned we have been given a guarantee by Matt Ferrugia that they are working on the problem and it should be fixed anytime now Thanks for your patience.
