On a scorching Friday on 20th November, Paul Pettiford, John Mulholland and David McGinnes, represented Bowral Golf Club at the Governors Legacy Golf Trophy event at Royal Sydney Golf course. Although they did not win on the day, they were competitive and had a great time. It was a shotgun start at 8.00am with lunch to follow. In order to make the early start they left Bowral at about 5.00am and stayed overnight. I have been assured that after the heat of the day, lunch, a couple of beers and dinner, they were all in bed by 9.30pm. They then made it back to Bowral to play in our legacy day on the Saturday. Royal Sydney have stringent dress codes for access to the club house after golf and I have been reliably informed that our representatives were the best dressed at the event. Thank you gentlemen for making the effort. pc Champion of Champions, completion of our Club Championships, we have registered our Champions in “A” Grade Alex Mulholland, “B” Grade Alec Dietsch and “C” Grade Warren Ryan, to represent our club in the Champions of Champions Illawarra Golf event to be played at Highlands Golf Club on 20/12/15. We wish them all the best of luck. Any supporters from the club, would be most welcome. Where’s the rain ? Damian rang me this morning to advise that although our bore is pumping continuously 24 hours a day, the dam is now nearly empty and he can’t keep the water up to the course to preserve it in the immaculate condition that we have grown to expect. Accordingly, priority will be given to greens, new fairways and those fairways that suffer most. All members would know, that Damian and his staff are dedicated employees and take setbacks like this personally. We are in one of the driest counties on earth and occasionally this will happen. Roots of grasses actually die at temperatures over 45 degrees. Fortunately we should not get to that, so any part of the course that does go off, will recover later with rain. Please be patient and hope that rain is not far away. In the meantime take advantage of the extra run.
