Fairway extensions, the Flag flies free, bridge on the 15th and nesting boxes, changing auditors, golf clinics

25/9/2015

 
Fairway Extensions
All playing members would be aware the fairways on the 5th, 13th, 17th and 16th have been extended by rotary-hoeing the rough. The new area will be seeded next Monday, weather permitting and will be GUR until sufficient growth to allow traffic. In order to minimise effect on our members, we will move the tees forward to the existing fairways for a period of about 3 weeks. The exceptions will be the medal round on Saturday Oct 3 and the club championships which will be played off the plates. All rounds off the forward tees will be non-handicap rounds. During the period of growth there will be several drop zones available on each hole for those playing off the plates. Please use the nearest point of relief, however, we would appreciate if you do not retrieve your ball as you will be up to your ankles in mud and do damage to the preparation of the ground. Balls will be collected at a later date and be available for you to retrieve, if they can be identified. Thank you for your patience during this period of reconstruction, however it is a “short term pain for a long term gain”. I am confident you will be pleased with the result.  PC

Hassos and Associates have been appointed the club's new auditors following a vote at a General Meeting last Wednesday at 5pm. There are a number of steps stipulated by ASIC to be carried out in the changing of an auditor this General meeting was one of them. The appointment of the new auditor is budgeted to save the club around $8000 per year. Hassos and Associates are located in The Highstreet complex on Bong bong Street.

​Bridge on 15th
With the opening of the new bridge on the 1st, the temporary bridge has been relocated to the 15th over the ephemeral water hazard to allow walking traffic easier access to the fairway. Bird wire will be put on the bridge to provide better footing in wet conditions. The approaches to the bridge are GUR however, the hazard is back in play.

Nesting boxes. Members will have noticed the nesting boxes on the trees next to the triple tee. The club was asked permission by the owner of the property across Links Road to put the boxes on the trees to replace local fauna habitat, as many trees in residential Links Road had been removed. Permission was granted, with conditions, as part of our environmental policy.
