Golf NSW has an informative FAQ site: click here to get the information. At this stage the advice is that these measures will be in place till the 1st of December, any changes we'll let you know. See the local rules summary on the adjacent photo. Click to enlarge. Remember to take enough water on the course as the weather warms up.

Course Care...

With the spring growth underway the course is looking great.  The greens and fairways renovations with the help from Mother Nature are coming along perfectly.  Now it is up to use to ensure we keep the good work going.  Repair you divots and also your pitch marks on the green. See the photo supplied by a member regarding "course care"... I don't think they did the cross stitch but I maybe wrong.

The drainage work on the 8th and 9th holes is a significant part of an overall plan to ensure the course will drain as quickly as possible with the weather events, especially the "East Coast Lows" which can deposit 100 mm plus in a couple of days.  Further drainage work and cart path installation are planned in the near future... all aimed at keeping the course open as much as possible and having carts available to members whenever the course is open.  The photo below shows the areas next to the 8th green coming back nicely with the growing season.  The adjacent photo highlights the challenge we have in managing  storms such as the one on Saturday late afternoon.
