Great work and significant ongoing improvements. Many thanks…

We have to guess what country this is. Accent says Pommieland, but nearest Essendon to me is in Victoria, Oz. Their FB page has no clues either.

Amazing and great to see!

did you say 30cm deep !??

Great job 👏

Well in, Fred 👍

Excellent strategy Paul. Welcome news for those of us who love the Old Course but simply don't have the energy to walk the course.

Great score buddy LOL

Very good!

Wow I'm guessing a lack of maintenance is why it was clogged

քʀօʍօֆʍ

Would like to see the unclogging.

The title says unclogging but you didn't show how you unclogged it or did you just let go for days? What a goofball.

Corrugated pipes will gives issues rather sooner than later.

thank you for filming btw, you got more of the drain videos?

wauw beautiful culverts under the lid, and beautiful drainage structure 👌

Top job lads 👌🏻

My boy is a jnr member and absolutely loves it ❤️ great courses great coaches great staff GREAT place. I hope to become a part of the Essendon family in the new year 👍🏻

Greens are amazing, bunkers still really shocking?

Fantastic improvement in the Old Course and the quality is well above a well known (and pricey) course in the North West I played this weekend

Having played today, first day back with the rakes all back in place, lots and lots of foot prints and absolutely no effort to pick the rake up and use it. Members what is the matter with you? 🤔

Just been out with my boy Freddie on the old course (graduate squad) I must say the it’s beautiful out there. Great work Marc and team 👌🏻

The improvements in presentation, T boxes and fairway definition in the past 2 weeks are really great. Well done Marc and the greens team.

Great news. Congratulations.

Excellent and congratulations on the new appointments!!! We player look forward to the amazing work and enhancements to an already class golf country club!!!

Paul could you do the vlog again without the background music overtaking Ian’s and Laura’s important information.

Love that the pool is still there and refurbished!

I’d like to see Ian replacing Naga Munchetty on BBC Breakfast. He’d make a lot more sense than her!!!

Hi Ian, what is the implication on an individual’s handicap index when a scorecard is not submitted during a competition round or where indicated before a general round that it would? Will this round count but as a default high score?

Nice one. Very clear and very fair...some will moan.

Thanks for that Paul and Ian. Looking forward to seeing everyone out there.

Can’t wait to get back, Mrs C is even keener for me to “just go and play golf” 😂. Nice new glasses Paul and a lovely fascinator Ian!

very good chaps

Good presenting you guys 👍👍

👍🏻👍🏻

Wishing you Paul, Ian and all the wonderful Essendon team a very happy Christmas - if a bit limited this year. 2021 IS going to be so much better.

Appreciate all the hard work!

A star in the making!!

Really can’t see the logic in the 9 hole loops. This membership seems to be expensive for a round of 9 holes. Hope it reflects massively in the membership renewal. No other golf courses in the area are implementing these procedures.

R.I.P. ray YNWA 💯🙏

hi, awesome video...<3

That is Outrageous JOE! i get scared when you swing.

Watching the great arial shots of the courses is torture! Can't wait to be back playing on them....

Great Vlog and thanks for keeping us to date...the course looks so good compared to the last time we played...can't wait to get back out there again and to meet up with everyone...hopefully we will all appreciate how lucky we are to be fit and well and playing again at Essendon..

Augusta has got nothing on us!

Mr D great job👍🏌🏿‍♂️🏏😎

Paul, is that music??? Suggest you try Shania Twain, Alison Krause or Vince Gill. Alternatively, you could give us a rendition of ' Coming 'round the Mountain? Just a thought!

I'm not sure whether images like this are encouraging, because they show what we'll be coming back to, or frustrating, because we can't get out and enjoy it. Either way, Well done the lads and thanks , Paul, for keeping us in touch. Roger

Brilliant vlog Paul, sometimes it's hard to recognise certain holes ... Severe withdrawal symptoms seeing the course in the sunshine, and the anticipation of not playing for few weeks. Woe. Woe. And thrice Woe!
