haywire. And the Golf Yuletide Challenge 2018
seemed headed for near-disaster as play was
disrupted due to intermittent stoppages because of rain and
lightning.
But a turn of events and some quick thinking by the emcee
Lester Leo saw the big event come to a happy ending.
The 125 golfers managed to complete their game, late
though on Sunday, 16 December and the first half of the
evening programme was affected.
For yuletide was the occasion and the second half of the
programme was all about Christmas carolling.
A good crowd of 163 diners (38 were non-golfers), spread
over 20 tables, for the first-time social event at the Tampines
layout enjoyed the proceedings.
They also appreciated the theme and deco, and dressed
appropriately in colourful attire that blended with the
decorations and the backdrop at the centre stage, a 24 feet

REPAIRING DIVOTS
How to repair your divot
Now that you’ve taken a divot, what’s
your correct course of action? There
are two ways of repairing, or “fixing,”
divots. One is to fill the divot with sand
Divot Introduction Identify your Divot the other is to retrieve the turfgrass/sod
Most good swings on well-struck iron shots produce a The golfer’s iron has sliced off the top patch, that was sliced off after striking

earth, that is left in the fairway. a descending path)
Repairing divots is an important duty of golfers who create
them. According to the Golf Course Superintendents
Association of America, a repaired divot can speed up the
healing process (meaning: the grass will cover over the scar
in the fairway) by 2 weeks, as opposed to an unrepaired divot
which could still show the scaring many weeks afterwards. Smooth over the sand pile with your
golf shoe to level out the divot
To help us to help you to take care of the golf course there

Take the container of sand and simply practice will assist in healing the golf course and allow
pour enough sand to fill the divot for fast recovery.
You may wish to replace your divot as another option.
If you’ve taken a “clean divot,” you’ll find the turf
still in one neat piece. Just fit the divot back into the
ground the same way it came out (as you would a
puzzle piece). If the divot is in multiple pieces you are
best to use the sand funnel option.
Sand funnel stations near to 1st and
10th tees are there to help you refill your
container or collect a funnel When the turf is replaced tramp down with your shoe,
cover in sand and you’re done.
And finally, repairing divots is always a necessity
and never to be compromised as we require our
