Length of Rough around the Greens – Update from the Golf Course Superintendent

15 July, 2026 By Webmaster

Dear Members,

The increased height of the rough around the greens is a deliberate management decision due to the ongoing water shortage and drought conditions we are currently experiencing. By maintaining a higher height of cut in these areas, the turf is better able to retain moisture, reduce heat stress, and remain healthy while we continue to manage our limited irrigation water allocation.

I am aware that the height is not completely consistent around the course and that it can make finding and playing a ball more difficult, particularly where a shot has only just missed the green. Unfortunately, this is one of the compromises we have had to make to ensure we can maintain the overall health and presentation of the golf course throughout the summer.

For the foreseeable future, while these water restrictions remain in place, I intend to continue managing the rough at this height. I appreciate that this may cause some inconvenience, but it is the most sustainable approach to preserving turf quality during the current conditions.

In addition to this, the heights of cut have been raised on all surfaces: Tees, Fairways & Approaches, Greens.

Regards,

Lucas Adamou

14 July, 2026 By Webmaster

Dear Members

Just to update all members on the latest news about Lucas.

Lucas is currently undergoing intensive chemotherapy, prior to stem cell transplant, at the Sheba Medical Centre near Tel Aviv. (The Sheba is listed among the top 10 hospitals in the world and has amazing facilities.) While Lucas endures the side effects of his chemo, his sister Lizi is having injections to boost her stem cells prior to transplant.

It is hoped that the transplant will be carried out on Thursday. Obviously this is a hugely important day for the Adamou family.

Lizi and her father will spend another 7 days in Israel, but Lucas must remain possibly for 3 months. Natalie, his mother, is going to remain at the Sheba with him. Fortunately the hospital has accommodation for families such as the Adamous.

I know all members will wish Lucas all the very best as he once again endures another invasive procedure. We hope this treatment works for this amazingly courageous young man.

Good health to you all

Jeni Spoor
