Our course is holding up well given the amount of rain we have had, with some of the major courses in the area having to close at times due to being saturated.
The September “Monthly Medal” winner was Chris Larkin.
The “Medal Of Medals” competition – which is where all previous winners of the monthly medal play off for the coveted title of “Medal of Medals Champion” – was held on Sunday 18th and won by Robin (Strop) Weldon. Congratulations to all those who participated.
The “9-Hole” Comp is still running in conjunction the normal 18-hole Sunday comp and provides a great opportunity for those looking for an entry level into competition golf. Ideal for juniors …
The Friday night “Chook Run” will revert to a 4.00/4.30 start when daylight savings starts in October.
Work on the irrigation upgrade will start around late October, early November depending on when the 220kl water tank arrives, this will be followed by trenching and installation of pipe-works.
This will involve some closing of the course for periods of time.
