GUR 6th Hole
The mound of soil beside the 6th green has been moved to a position behind the green temporarily causing an area of abnormal ground conditions which is to be played as compulsory GUR . There are three drop zones in place clearly marked if a players ball comes to rest in the GUR area. Players must choose the zone at the nearest point of release to their ball, not nearer the hole. Our bobcat is undergoing repairs and as soon as Damian has it back in action work will recommence on the mounding around the back of the green.

COURSE MATTERS
- The extension of the 12th fairway is progressing satisfactorily however has been held back a little by the extreme hot weather we have been experiencing over the past few weeks. Due to this Damian will be doing some remedial work and as such the teeing of balls that come to rest on the new section will continue until further advised.
- Work on the 4th fairway has been suspended until March/April when more favourable conditions should prevail. The irrigation system has been extended and connected. Damian may turn this on from time to time to see if it may produce some better conditions until we can commence the full extension work.
- The mounding on the 18th has been completed and as above will be seeded when more favourable conditions exist.
- Work on the mounding behind the 6 hole has been temporarily delayed until our bobcat comes out of intensive care which should be a matter of days not weeks.

DAD'S ARMY
The photo below was taken after our courageous and valiant "band of brothers" claimed victory in their latest mission to retake our flagpole and garden area which was under the threat of being overrun by an insurgent group of miscellaneous noxious weeds and thistles.
Led by their intrepid leader Anton Sanger these gentlemen do a wonderful job around the course assisting Damian doing chores to keep BGC in the pristine condition we have come to expect. However they are always looking for new recruits. If anyone has a spare hour or two on a Thursday morning please contact Anton who I am sure will welcome you with open arms.
A side benefit in joining the Army is coffee and a snack provided by Regina Dad's Army's pin up girl. (are you allowed to say this anymore!)

Go well Bowral 2 !
Bowral Golf Club hosted both divisions, two and four, in clear sunny weather. Playing in twos the field moved well enough but was surprisingly, a little slow.
A very special thanks must go to Grant Blanchard who worked tirelessly all day, firstly starting the field, then, that done, immediately changed hats to become BBQ chef as the first groups came in , then slaved away until the last in was fed.
Thank you Grant – your efforts made the day a great success.
The new result reporting system “ golf Box “ is now in its second year and is working well. Those interested can now access pennant results on Golf Illawarra’s web site immediately they are submitted.
There were numerous compliments expressed about our golf course, and it was obvious that our visitors ( 56 in total ) were very favourably impressed.
Thank you Damien and your team.
Regards
Don Barker
Pennant Coordinator
My thanks to Don who has occupied this position for the past few years. He works tirelessly to make sure our two teams are well represented for the duration of the competition. Ably assisted by his two captains Grant Blanchard and David Burgess. Grant on Sunday took on the job of starter and when he had all the teams on the course he fired up the BBQ and cooked the sausages and onions to feed the players when they finished their rounds. Both Don and Grant were on duty from 7.00am until after 2.00pm, a long day. My thanks to them both, without people like you our club. My thanks also to James and Alexia (Pedro) who were on duty for the day.
