“ Course manager Rob Cook and his team have already done some great work in this respect , encouraging marram and other coastal species in the roughs , as well as the appropriate fine grasses in the playing areas , and it is my hope that we can help them go even further . As far as course work goes , we will explore the entire property – which is pretty vast – to look for opportunities to improve the experience for all golfers . But I am not going to sterilise it – the rawness is an essential part of what makes Perranporth such a fabulous place to play .”
Club chairman Graham Parkyn says that this partnership is a big step for Perranporth . “ Our course is basically still as Braid designed it back in the Twenties , and we don ’ t want to lose that feel , so it was crucial for us that Tim understood that ,” he explains . “ To have someone of Tim ’ s standing partnering with us is very exciting for the future wellbeing of the club and course . Tim has spent quite a bit of time over the past few years getting to know the course and people , and his passionate desire to work here was very attractive from our perspective . We look forward to a productive partnership for years to come .”
