Golf Course Update...

28/3/2022

 
The persistent wet weather continues.  The course is very wet and a few millimetres of rain each night prevents any chance of the course recovering.  This has restricted the use of carts which has significant impact on some of our members.  The critically wet areas are around the first green, second and third holes. We will continue to monitor the course and reinstate carts as soon as we can. The rain forecast (see image on the right) is to be with us for the next fortnight or so; hopefully that is the end of the rain for a while.

Back in business...

14/3/2022

 
The clubhouse and the course are open for business.  The builders came and "made safe" the damaged ceilings last Friday and the course opened today.  Spare a thought for those golf courses which are still suffering from the flooding especially along the Nepean/Hawkesbury River. Moss Vale GC experienced servere flooding and is reopening this Wednesday.

Matt and the team cut there greens and surrounds last Friday and were on the rough and fairways today.  There will be those very wet areas which will take some time before the machines will be able to get onto them without getting bogged. Due to the very wet conditions the greens renovations are cancelled.  

Preferred lies will be on for a while yet.

See the photos below of the damage to the clubhouse.

Upcoming Events...

Wednesday - 16th March - St Patricks Day - 4 person Ambrose
The greens renovations will not take place, but a different green event will take place this Wednesday. Each team member will need to get three tee shots away, should be a bit of fun. Your chance to win a bottle of Irelands finest.

Saturday - 26th March - Monthly Medal and the Austen Richardson Tankard trophy
Due to the bad weather the march monthly medal was moved to the last Saturday in the month.

Saturday - 2nd April - Monthly Medal
This year is going quickly - back to back monthly medals.

Sunday - 3rd April - Round 1 of the Arthur Brassey knock out
The draw is up on the notice board and in the post below.

Sunday - 10th April - The Jubilee Cup - NSW Vardon event
A big golfing event for our club which attracts some very good golfers.  This Cup celebrates the foundation of the Bowral Golf Club on the 18th of March 1901. The cup was donated by J M Oxley on the club's 60th anniversary.
Next week's news update will be delay couple of days.

I will be enjoying a few rounds of golf on the Mornington Peninsula with family and friends.

Regards,
