There was no golf on Sunday as the course was too wet. The course has been saturated with rain with supposivly more to come. It is so wet that mushrooms are happily popping out on the course. (see photo attached)
The course was open for play today. Those that played said it was okay for play but very wet underfoot. The planned Sponsers Day was cancelled so there were not too many players out on the course. I suppose by comparison of how it would have been some years back when the course was closed for a week at a time.
It was very sloshy so no machinery or trucks were allowed on the course. Because of this F-Troop was cancelled for the day.
As there were jobs to be done that did not require trucks or machinery a few F-Troopers that reported for duty cleared the blocked drains at the 13th dam & wherever they could find a problem.
It was a perfect day for planting trees so we finished off the planting of the avenue of Tibouchinas on the 2nd fairway & also planted a Golden Penda at the back of the tempory green on the second which is the next area marked for clean up and refurbishment.
The Daintree Pine on the 15th was showing signs of animal attack as the bottom leaves appeared to be chewed. The rest of the tree seems fine so some fertilizer & some TLC should bring it around. Perhaps a protective fence may be appropriate while the tree is young & close to the ground.
We have received a donation of two tree ferns so I needed to create a place for them. Today we created two new garden spots at the Ladies 2nd tee to accommodate the tree ferns.
F- Troopers today were Duncan Dyer, Martin Gallagher, Noel Fenning, Garry Trigg and Peter Martin. Many thanks for a job well done.
