COVID Update
The current COVID rules will remain in place as the regional health rules have been extended. As always we will keep you posted of any changes. Thank you all for your adherence to the current COVID protocols.
From recent government announcements and health advice the quickest way back to having our Club House open and playing in groups of 3 and 4 is for high levels of vaccinations, so please consider getting the vaccinations if you have not done so already.

Anniversary Dinner and Trophy Vouchers
Following a recent submission to the board relating to the Anniversary Dinner and vouchers/prizes, the Board has decided upon the following.
Anniversary Dinner
The Anniversary Dinner will move from being an annual dinner to a dinner event which will celebrate significant milestone occasions for the Club. The next Anniversary Dinner is scheduled to celebrate the Club's 125th year in 2026.
Presentation Dinner
The trophy and championship winners will be recognised with a Presentation Dinner to be held soon after the completion of the Club Championships in November. This year's presentation dinner is scheduled for the Saturday the 13th of November 2021.
Trophy Vouchers
This year all trophy winners will receive a voucher to the presentation dinner as will the Championship winners; the same practice as in recent years.
Then, from next year, 2022, all trophy winners with the exception of Club Championships will have their accounts credited to the value of the voucher on the day of the event, Championship winners will be awarded vouchers to the Presentation dinner.

A review of the voucher system will be undertaken at the end of 2022.
Monday Competition
We are keen to understand what our membership prefers for the Monday competition, is it:
- A nine hole Yellow Course competition - or,
- A White Course 18 hole competition?

Course Update...
As always at this time of year our greens staff and Dad's Army are working on course maintenance and improvements before the growing season starts and it's cutting grass time. A few updates for this week:
| 8th & 9th Fairway Drainage We had been keen to get a rain system come through to test out the work carried out in May, we had around 90mm of rain last week and I'm glad to report the new work handled it very well. On Saturday the flow through the 9th pipe and 8th fairway drain was still a considerable amount. Click the photo to enlarge... |  |
 | Sand for Divots - essential course repair The sharp eyed amongst you would have noticed new sand boxes on those tees without them. The 1st, 12th, 16th and the 18th tees. Here's what they look like, on the left. |
| Practice Area The chipping on the old tennis/croquet courts and practice range is getting more popular which is great. To facilitate keeping this area in good "nick" we have repurposed the sand box from the 18th to this area. For your convenience. |  |
 | You may have noticed the 3rd tee had a "boy prune". The hedge has been removed to keep this tee looking like the sixteenth tee. The removal reduces maintenance and player frustration when "not the best shot" gets lost in the hedge. The 3rd tee sign was recently relocated to a safer position for those on the 2nd hole. |
Next week...
Monday and Tuesday will be the greens, tee box and fairway renovations. With that comes the "greenskeepers revenge" formats. A bit of fun as we move into Spring. Enjoy.
