F- Troop was a hive of activity again today with some good work being done on the 6th, 15th & 18th. We welcomed two first time troopers to the fold to day in the way of Arthur Verlander and Robin Incoll. It is great to get more members involved and every little bit helps with the end result.
Today the troopers put down some timber edging around the native gardens on the 6th tee. We ran out of timber, but the work in progress looks great. After a bit of trimming & weeding the garden is going to start to take shape. We now have room for more native plants and I believe that we have been donated 30 Kangaroo paws to enhance this garden. I will keep you posted about that. The timber edging is designed to prevent weed growth from the banks of the creek.
In 12 months time with some fertilizer and some TLC this area will look magnificent. The new garden at the back of the tee adds to the appeal ( previously was a mess of weeds and brambles) & with special care with selection of trees and shrubs this garden should look special.
The troopers then moved on to do some laying of grass on the 18th fairway to repair the damage caused by the old gravel pathway. After that the new section of the 15th tee was completed with laying of new grass. This tee is also going to look sensational when all the work is completed.
Robin Incoll assisted me on the native garden on the 6th tee removing weeds & preparing the front beds for the new Kangaroo Paws. I was only at the one garden point today so am not sure of how many troopers we had in total over the course but we did have a good number & it was good to welcome another two new members.
