  Rain again and the the continuing drama for members of is the the course open or closed continues. Today Saturday the course is closed and we suggest if your booked for tomorrow Sunday you call the pro shop before leaving home as decisions are made on a daily basis. Also keep watching the blog as the rain continues to play havoc with competition scheduling of our major competitions.

The coring of greens will be done on Friday morning from 7:30am until around 10:30am.  We really need some helpers to work with green staff, so if you can please meet at the pro shop just before 7:30am.  We would greatly appreciate any help on the day. Thank you!!

  Members Please be advised that due to the rain the coring of the greens has been held up and are planned for this Friday 19th March The committee changed the Monthly Medal from the fixture book previously to fit in with the coring and have now decided to bring the medal round back to the date in the fixture book We are sorry for the chopping and changing but the weather has caused havoc with planning competitions.

Competition is back underway today (Saturday 12th), as the lovely Leonie can be seen doing on the 1st this morning (B Grade Champion Dieter hiding to left and Dangerous Dave to the right). While a little heavy in parts, it is actually really lovely out there for the majority - so book in a round today or tomorrow. Enjoy Cheers, Rod
