The nights are getting lighter - a sign of the imminent arrival of spring amid the wet and windy conditions we have had to endure of late.
Despite a relatively mild winter, golf clubs across the region have had to cope with a variety of weather issues hampering preparations and in many cases closing courses for periods due to waterlogging.
It is at times like this we see the often unsung green staff come into their own to ensure our courses are in the best possible condition.
The season ahead looks like another great one for the region with some great tournaments heading our way. We still don’t get as many events as we deserve, but the support of the PGA and EuroPro Tour in particular is always welcome.
Who knows, perhaps those taking part in the tournament we feature on this month’s cover may go on to play in these events and even follow in the footsteps of their heroes on the European Tour.
