On Tuesday 16th we bid farewell to Joe Schuj who has left an indelible mark on us over the years.  Joe was more than just a member of the Breakers Golf Club. He was a true friend and inspiration for all those who had the privilege of knowing and playing with him. For years, you would see him on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with his infectious enthusiasm that spread among his fellow golfers.  Joe understood that golf was not just a game of but also a means of building lasting friendships , Joe's impact extended far beyond his contributions as a golfer.  He was a man of many talents, one of which was his incredible musical abilities, as a member of a band, he generously lent his musical prowess to support the club on numerous occasions. His legacy as a friend, golfer, and musician will continue to inspire us and condolences go to Joes wife Shayne, daughters Kate and Eliza and beloved opa to Emily  from all members of Breakers Golf Club  Joe's service will be at Greenway at Green Pt 2p

Dear Members, I am writing to update you on the latest happenings at our golf club.  Firstly, I would like to mention that the weather has been quite challenging in recent weeks.  Despite this, our team has been working hard to maintain the course to the highest possible standard. As you may be aware, Mounties have plans to construct a new wall on the 9th hole, this should start on Monday 22nd May subject to weather conditions  When this work starts there will be a temporary green and members will have to double back over the bridge near the nursery. We understand that this may cause some inconvenience, but we hope that you will bear with us as we carry out this important work. I am pleased to inform you that the working bee that was held last on Wednesday was a great success.  We were able to complete the crushed granite path from the tee to the concrete on the 6th hole.  We are happy with the progress that has been made, and we thank all the volunteers who took part in this project.
