Independent charity and social enterprise, Mytime Active, has begun a major improvement programme at its Midlands golf courses following the appointment of golf pro Gareth Jones to head up the sites.
Along with a £1 million investment in new machinery, a site-specific maintenance programme will improve playing surfaces and overall customer experience.
Gareth Jones, Area Manager for Mytime Active, is a PGA professional and PGA manager with more than 25 years’ experience. He says: “Whilst customers see green grass, most of the work to provide a good playing surface happens below the ground. We’ve taken quite invasive action in our spring maintenance, one hole at a time, but this is essential for continuous improvement.”
“We’ve even analysed the soil’s makeup at each of our locations and invested in site-specific chemicals and fertiliser program to improve the turf health. We are dealing with nature, so you can’t just turn a switch, but over the next six months the results will be significant – in fact, customer feedback has already improved!”
Affordable, accessible and family-friendly, Boldmere, Cocks Moors Woods, Harborne Church Farm, Hatchford Brook, Lickey Hills and Pype Hayes golf courses bring golf to everyone.
Jones continues: “Whether you’re an entry level golfer or someone in their later years looking for a good value social opportunity, Mytime Active offers the best value membership in the Midlands. If you’re starting out and want a nine-hole course or progressing to an 18-hole course but looking for variety, we truly have something for everyone.”
And, by choosing Mytime Active, you’re helping the charity give back to the local community. With no owners or shareholders to pay, all profits are reinvested into the facilities and wellbeing opportunities for the community.
