August 23rd Update...

23/8/2021

 
It's been very fortunate that we can use our golf course for exercise during the last couple of weeks. The Wednesday and Saturday fields have been well over 100 players.  While we can't travel far to meet up with family and friends we can still enjoy a round of golf.

COVID protocols were outlined in last week's post, please refer to them as required.  Current requirements are for mandatory wearing of masks while not exercising.  One person per golf cart is the current requirement.

​

Course Update...

Preferred Lies - we still have a few holes which will "mud the ball" so the preferred lies rule is on close watch. It may well be in place for a while longer if the tonight and tomorrows rain event comes as plan.

 14th Green GUR 
Timing is everything, the top dressing of the turf went on this morning before the rain set in.  This work is really knitting together well and with a bit of luck will be perfect in a couple of months. Click on the photo to get the detail.
Finally, the 13th pond has been drained and inspection of the wall adjacent to the concrete bridge on the fairway side shows a significant hole which causes the water to leak through.  Now we know the problem we can work on the solution.

Recent Results...

Wednesday - 4BBB with Singles in Conjunction
As mentioned previously a great roll up with 94 players. Peter Dunn and Ray Clayton took "line honours" with 47 points from runners up Chris Kunz and Vern Vella with 46 on a count back. Roberto Ratalino took the singles prize with 43 points.

Friday's Golden Nugget
A great result for winner Fran Dubiez with 27 point a clear winner from the rest of the field. Robert Dean running up with 23 points. A good field with 31 entrants.
Saturday - W H Friend Par Trophy
While a par event is not everyones favourite we had a field of 94 (again) to give it ago. Par events appear to polarise golfers - they either hate it (the majority) or love the challenge. We only have a couple a year so it keeps us on our toes.
This years winner is a well deserved junior member is Thomas Moulton with a +5 result.  Runner up with +4 Bryan Frith.

Sunday - Medley Stableford
Again some good scoring across the field, Daniel Weekes won with 40 points with Warwick Keirnan runner up with 37.  Well done Warwick.
​
Monday Madness
With 37 point John Buchanan won the day from Brenton Aggar  with 36 points.
With the current COVID rules it is a bit difficult to outline the upcoming events so it's best to wait and see what happens later this week.

We will keep you posted accordingly.

Enjoy the last few days of Winter...
