Great golfing weather...

Course Update...

The rough mower has been out and cutting into those uncut areas which are drying out.  The 30 mm last week did not help but the uncut areas are reducing in size. The greens are getting some growth and they will now be cut on Saturday mornings as well as during the week. Click on the photos to enlarge them.

Drainage Update
Last week Blake was back at work cleaning out drains around the 8th tee, 13th hole, 15th hole, 6th/7th holes and behind the 11th green.  Work is continuing this week on the 16th fairway installing underground drainage to remove surface water which sits in the area of the old fairway bunker.  See photo adjacent.

Summer Eclectic competition...

While it has not felt like spring until now, it's time to get into the Summer Eclectic.  The sign up sheet is in the Pro-Shop so get you name down and snag a few birdies over summer.

Club House reopens this Wednesday...

The roof has been repaired, the ceilings have been repaired, new lighting installed and with a fresh paint job the club house is looking fantastic. No photos could do it justice.
Now all it needs is all our members getting in there to enjoy the surroundings and have lunch and maybe a drink. 

See you there...
