Members Update

It has been another busy week at the club.

Thanks to all the members that attended the Virtual AGM last night. For those members who were unable to attend please see the report and link to the recording of the Zoom meeting below.

The course and golf team are gearing up for the Club Championship first round next weekend. I look forward to seeing the driving range full of golfers cramming in that final practice ahead of next weekend.
Club Championship Update - Entries are now closed and the draw will be available this evening, please remember that full payment will be required at registration of the first round.

We are starting to get into the warmer months of the year, it is vitally important to remember to stay hydrated on the golf course. Please ensure you bring enough fluids or be sure to purchase from the golf shop before your round of golf. Please note that with the warmer weather the snake activity will increase. We have had a few snake sightings this week and it is important to take care when looking for your balls in the rough.

Until next week, enjoy the golf and have a great weekend.

Club Manager

Course Update

Apart from routine maintenance of all playing surfaces, the team managed to:

Fertilise all Tees and green surrounds with a granular slow release fertiliser.
Diagnose and plan repair to irrigation wire issues on the 6th, 7th & 8th holes. This has led to the team resorting to sprinkler and hand watering on these holes as a short term solution.
Hand water selected high-spots on greens. This will continue all through the summer period.

As a general note, the fairways have really started to grow this week and with next week's good weather the fairway coverage will only get better.

Club Championship preparation - As a team we have stepped it up a gear in readiness for the week leading up to club championships. We have this week taken on a new Apprentice greenkeeper and will also be welcoming an additional Summer Casual next week Tuesday. This is perfect timing as we head into Club Championship month!
