One of F-Troop's projects for this week was to maintain the garden at the 18th tee and to chip & weed the newly planted camellias along "Camellia Way" between the 17th green and the 18th fairway. This was achieved over a three day period (between rain showers). The camellias look much better for the tidy up, the garden "rabbit proof" fence has been repaired, the leaking tap fixed and the watering system for the garden in working order. A pick up of loose timber and a rake through the paths was a simple operation that has tidied the whole area.
MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE: The tap at the garden at the 18th is connected to the dam water supply and is not suitable for drinking water (note warning notice at the tap). It is not good for your health to use this water. Please use the ball washer supplied to clean your golf balls. The water supply is intended only for the watering of the garden & surrounding plants.
The protective tree guards around the camellias to keep out the rabbits and other pests have been completed. Many thanks to Judy Hughes for her generous donation of tree guards for this area. As has been reported previously we have lost a couple of orchid plants from the garden at the 18th through theft which is very disappointing for us and the people who originally donated the plants. My thanks to Helen Stuart who has donated a replacement orchid for this garden.
We have so far taken 5 orders for timber winter fuel from Members which is very much appreciated by F-Troop. The first of the timber deliveries will begin this weekend. Profits from the sale of this timber will go towards the purchase of more plants for the course and also for important maintenance costs like fertilizer for the new camellias that have just been planted.
Thank you very much to our supportive Members. Your help & support is very much appreciated & assists us to reach our goals to beautify our golf course.
The Golfing Event of the day was a Single Stableford for Men and Ladies.
We had 86 starters with 19 visitors from Everglades, Grose River, Leonay, Magenta, Mangrove, Moss Vale, Orchard Hills. Overseas, Terrigal & Wyong.
