WINNERS… AGAIN! 🏆

Exeter Golf and Country Club have done it again, taking home the trophy at the @hiltonamesofficial Funder Games for @hospiscaredevon 👏

A 5-a-side tournament that came down to a tense final against @exeterbradleys - and a penalty shoot-out!

We started with a 2-1 win over @simpkinsedwards , followed by a 1-0 win against @nexus.os Misfits and a 4-1 victory over @nfu_mutual securing our place in the final.

The final finished 0-0 after a seriously tense game, so it all came down to penalties.

Thanks to all our players from across the F&B Team, the Gym and Greenkeepers who stepped up to play and those who took the penalties - especially to our Greenkeeper and our goalkeeper- George - who scored his penalty after saving many in the sudden death penalty shoot out.

We have to give a special mention to F&B Team Leader, Owen who heroically carried on playing after falling mid-game and breaking his wrist. 😬👏

Huge thanks to everyone who took part, and to Ottery St Mary Leisure Centre for hosting us on Friday.

Champions again! 🙌

Hatton Boxing with Vince: 10 WEEKS DOWN. 2 WEEKS TO GO. 👊

A big well done to everyone on our Hatton Beginners’ Boxing Course for putting in the work over the last 10 weeks.

They’ve covered the fundamentals of boxing, from stance and footwork to jabs, crosses, hooks, body shots and uppercuts, plus combinations, cardio, power sets and perpetual motion.

They’ve also been getting to grips with the defensive side of boxing - slips, sways, blocks, parries, ducks and weaves - alongside plenty of fitness, skipping and bodyweight work.

Now it’s all about bringing those skills together.

Next up: defence + combinations in simulated sparring on the pads.

Amazing progress! New course starts later in the autumn! Tag who you’d want as your sparring partner. ...

In fact, we’ve definitely found the best place to be today… In the pool. Out of the pool. In the pool. Out of the pool. On repeat until 9.30pm tonight.

When it’s 31°C in Exeter, it’s got to be:
Swim. Sun. Swim. Repeat. All day long.

Here’s what our Greenkeepers got up to during our Golf Course Maintenance Week, with Dave’s dog Bella keeping an eye on progress throughout!

Last week our greenkeeping team gave all 18 greens - plus the practice greens - some serious TLC, carrying out essential maintenance to help protect the health and resilience of the turf, particularly during these exceptionally dry conditions.

🌱 Verti-cutting removed excess thatch and organic matter, encouraging healthier, upright grass growth.

🏖️ Top dressing helped smooth and firm the surfaces, improve drainage and manage organic matter.

🌿 Overseeding introduced fresh, vigorous growth to improve coverage and help strengthen the turf.

🔩 Spike aeration to 4 inches relieved compaction, improved air and water movement and encouraged deeper root growth.

🧹 Brushing in the top dressing worked the sand into the surface, helping to fill imperfections and support a smoother putting surface.

⛳️ New holes were cut to reduce wear and keep play fresh and fair.

With the course currently dealing with drought conditions, maintaining healthy roots, good drainage and resilient turf is more important than ever.

A big week of work to help give the greens the best possible chance through the rest of the season.
