A Note from the Captain

Hello Golf Members

How very frustrating it is not to be playing golf due to this miserable weather pattern, surely the rain must stop soon.

I did walk the course yesterday and without stating the obvious, it was extremely wet in the normal areas, 5th fairway, 9th fairway etc.

The lagoon was open from day one which has helped drain the water from the course. 

On a more positive note, the green staff were able to mow the greens, including the two new greens. There is no doubt, the break from golfers playing has given both tees and greens an opportunity to revitalise. When we do eventually get back on the course, it will be amazing.

Having just attended a Central Coast District meeting, I can assure you that most of the Coast courses are suffering the same fate.

Brisbane Water Vets even had last Monday cancelled at Everglades, which shows you how sad things have got when Everglades is closed. 

If you feel the need to play, Gosford Golf Club have simulated golf available, phone the Pro Shop to book a game. 

The match committee will endeavour to keep you up to date with any changes to the golf programme.

I will leave you with a Golf Joke:

Danny was a religious golfer. Every Sunday morning, he headed to the golf course. It did not matter what the weather was like. It could be raining and 45 degrees, but Danny did not care. It was off to the course. Every single Sunday morning for years.

But one Sunday, Danny finally met his match with the weather. He got up early and drove out to the course, hoping the weather would improve by the time he hit the first tee.

But once at the course, he knew he was beat. It was just a few degrees above freezing, and the rain was coming down steady and icy cold. No amount of bundling up and rain gear could help.

So, for the first time in years, Danny headed back home on a Sunday morning.

His wife was still in bed when he got there, so he took off his clothes, snuggled up to his wife's backside and said "Terrible weather out there."

"Yeah," his wife replied, "and can you believe my idiot husband went golfing?"

Stay Dry and Safe
