Our Country is on Fire.
The thoughts, prayers and best wishes of every member of the BGC are extended to all those affected by the fires which have impacted our country, as well as our admiration and great appreciation to those selfless members of the emergency services and the general public who have given their utmost to protect and defend lives and property. Their efforts are truly inspirational and the very definition of what it means to be an Aussie. The job is not yet complete and we (The BGC) would like to assist them in their endeavours.

Please watch out for this little guy, he has been hanging around the clubhouse lately.
Also, the 6th green mounding has established well enough to allow access to the work area, however the area is still 'Compulsory GUR'. Use normal drop procedures as per a No Play Zone Rule 2.4.

A Little Humour
James was playing a round of golf with the club pro one day and after 18 holes they went into the clubhouse.
James asked the pro:"What do you think of my game?"
The pro replied: "You should shorten your clubs by two and a half centimetres."
James asked if the pro thought this would help his game.
To which the pro said, "No but it will help them fit into the rubbish bin!"
Now Go Out and Enjoy a Game of Golf !!
