F-Troop - Monday 23rd February 2009






















This morning we welcomed Kerry Cubis to the ranks of F-Troop. Welcome aboard Kerry!
The half broken branch on the pine tree on the 11th proved to be too big a task. After an hour and a half of perservering it was put in the too hard basket for today.
Warren Gray & Gary Sammons were on cleanup duty of fallen timber, Spencer Walklate, Des Wilson & Martin Gallagher trimmed trees on each side of the 11th & 12th fairways. The drain on the 5th tee was cleaned out by Gary Sammons, Martin Gallagher, Garry Trigg, Warren Gray & Des Wilson and I understood this was a very smelly task (Gary was a little less delicate in his description of the job). It was a successful project and all the weed has been cleared from this drain and the overflow from the dam is ensuring that the remaining weed in this drain is flushed out to the creek parallel to the 5th fairway and ultimately into Narara Creek.
Clyde Cruickshank power cleaned the front stairs of the clubhouse and also the Wedding Gazebo.
I had discussions with Clyde today regarding the planning of the new garden at the practice nets which is a project we are keen to get rolling. Plans have been drawn & are in for approval - then it should be all go. We have received some donations for this project which is very helpful.
Yvonne Wilson was weeding & fertilizing at the 14th. I notice Wendy Stapleton was on duty today so no doubt some raking was done somewhere. Ray Presdee was on the rough cutter today. I was not able to stay long today so missed most people.
F-Troopers today were Clyde Cruickshanks, Martin Gallagher, Spencer Walklate, Garry Trigg,
Doug Incoll, Wendy Stapleton, Warren Gray, Des Wilon, Yvonne Wilson, Gary Sammons, Kerry Cubis & Ray Presdee.
Carry on the good work while I am away troopers. The course is getting better all the time & the recent rain has been a real bonus for the gardens.
