A selfie at F-Troop Morning Tea - John Hollebon, Trevor Harrison, Jan Martin, (Sam Knox, Peter Martin)

10th tee gardens weeded and mulched 

Early rain reduced our team of volunteers today.  It was too wet to go out on the course so there was no tree maintenance, gardening or stick pick up done around the course.

On hand we had Trevor Harrison, Sam Knox, John Hollebon, Peter Martin and Jan Martin.

We all worked collectively at the putting green hedge and 10th tee gardens getting the 10th gardens weeded and mulched and removal of the rubbish from the gardens and hedging. Peter organised to get the blue car up and running. 

A quick coffee at the end of the morning was the best we could hope for.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
