Course Update
- The wet weather is forecast to continue over the next week, so the 'Preferred Lies' playing condition will remain in place for the time being. Please check with the pro shop before commencing your round to determine what area of the course is included in the playing condition. Also, the distance for taking a preferred lie is now 15cm, which is the height of a score card.
- A reminder that the pre-Covid playing conditions have been re-instated. Of particular note is the return of rakes to the bunkers. Bunkers are 'Play it as it Lies' and players are requested to use the rake to repair the bunker after use. Return the rake into the bunker please.
- Keep filling those divots and repairing the pitch marks please.
Coming Events
- The next trophy day is on the 20th February with the staging of the Jock Rossell (pairs PAR) and the Bill Chrystal Memorial trophy (Left handers single PAR). A presentation will be held following the event.
- Entries for the Arthur Brassey knockout competition close on Wednesday 24th February. The draw will be available on the club and pro shop notice boards by the following Friday.
- The 6 monthly renovations to the greens will be carried out over two days, March 8th and 9th (Monday, Tuesday).
Whitehorse Cup
Unfortunately both the Bowral teams lost their competitions on Sunday. Both results were very close with a 4 to 3 outcome. Several matches were halved, so the results were much closer than the score indicates.
Next week Bowral 1 will play Gerringong and Bowral 2 will face off against Kiama. Good luck guys!

A Little Humour
McDermott and McDuff were sitting in the clubhouse on a raw and blustery day, thawing their beards in front of the fireplace while freezing rain beat against the windows. The pair were silent for a long time over their whiskeys. Finally, McDermott spoke, “That was quite a round of golf.”
“Aye,” McDuff replied. “Same time next Saturday?”
“Aye,” said McDermott, “weather permitting….”
Now Go Out and Enjoy a Game of Golf !!!
