3 Club Captain The 2017 Mens stroke play champions have been found. Congratulations to following members for winning their respective divisions: Senior Dean Baldock Intermediate A Leo Lornie/Craig Ramage Intermediate B Keith Tuffery Junior Terry Doherty Limit Errol Tuffery The match play champs are now underway with the semi-finals set down for 24 th June and the finals on 1 st July. The mens eclectic competition has also started. The format for this competition uses your best score for each hole over a number of rounds to determine your overall score. So this format offers everyone the opportunity to have a sub-par round. Our competition will run each Saturday from now until 30 th September with the field divided into 5 divisions based on handicaps. The Two twos competition has now jackpotted to a point where there are currently 2 pots one of $200 and one just over $100. So for an entry fee of just 50cents why not give it a go. Note that this competition is open to our 18 hole ladies and our 18 hole men each Saturday. Course Few more trees have been removed from around the course. Thanks again to our fantastic hard working volunteers. There is always plenty to do around the course so anyone interested in lending a hand would be very appreciated. Over the last few weeks the greens have had two applications for moss control as well as the usual foliar feeding. Areas that have been sprayed for paspalum control are now showing evidence of this with browning off of some areas on the course. Working Bee Last Sunday of the month... June 25th, come on up... we have a giggle and do a bit of work about the place... wash windows, kill spiders that sort of thing Club Draw Don t forget the club jackpot draw takes place every Saturday at 5:00pm. You must be present in the clubhouse should your membership number be drawn, otherwise t he jackpot increases by $50 the following week. Currently jackpot is at $450.
