- Thank you to all the players for doing a better job of repairing the divots across the course. A definite improvement noted. Please keep up the effort and help create the best possible surface for play.
- The 4th fairway extension is looking better every week. See the photos for an update. We will shortly move from the temporary tee to the Red course tee box, so the hole will start to play a little more like the index. Stay tuned.
- Thanks To our 'Painter', John McGuire, for continuing his course coverage by painting the wall on the dam at the 2nd. I hope everyone is enjoying the fantastic colour display across the course with this beautiful Autumn weather. Thankfully, due to the watering efforts of our staff and volunteers over the intense drought, we lost very few of our specimen trees and can now enjoy the true ambiance of our course.
- In Breaking News, the following email has just been received from Golf NSW.
Golf NSW can advise that the NSW Office of Sport and NSW State Government are continuing efforts to finalise guidelines for recreation, exercise, and sport. Many sports will be included in these guidelines and will recommence in the near future.
These guidelines will also form the basis for amendments to the current NSW Public Health Order in relation to COVID-19.
Whilst confirmation of the guidelines is not expected until Wednesday, May 13, golf Clubs should anticipate the playing of golf in groups of four from Friday, May 15, with outdoor gathering numbers not exceeding 10 persons.
Clubs should also maintain all current practices and measures in regard to social distancing and good hygiene.
Yours sincerely,
Stuart Fraser
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

This will permit a maximum of 3 groups to be in the vicinity of the 1st tee at any one time and still retain the requirements of the maximum of 10 persons in one vicinity. Social Distancing requirements remain in place. The booking sheets will be available to book in 3's from this evening (Monday).

Wednesday 6th May, a mild Autumn day saw 84 players in the field to contest a two person Ambrose event played on the Red course. This was the first event for the men which has been played on this course, and there were some very low scores. The father and son pairing of John and Sam Mulholland (4 3/4) showed the field a clean pair of cleats by scoring a scratch 60 to net a score of 55 1/4. In second was the pairing of our club professional Kevin Kenny and his playing partner George Buschman (11) with a net 58. Balls were won down to a score of 65 1/4 on count back.


Monday 11th May, "Monday Madness" on the White course. 11 Players enjoyed a beautiful Autumn Monday competition with Ash Southon (15) finishing with 42 points to win the day from Robert Bearup (17) with 37 points. Balls were won down to 34 points on count back. This competition is currently available for Mondays in May only, however this will be re-assessed shortly to see if we will continue the competition into June. Stay tuned.

Our mystery member is still unidentified after 2 weeks now. Perhaps the clue this week will provide enough information for you to make a guess.
