It takes more than a Public Holiday to stop F-Troop work. We have so much to do and so little time. Today we had six volunteers which was great to see, given that most people have other commitments on such long weekends.
Duncan Dyer, Geoff Bridge, Martin Gallagher & Des Wilson took care of some more nuisance & dangerous tree removal at the 17th fairway.
Peter Martin did some sand bagging at the garden at the 1st tee. The soil in this garden is almost pure sand. At the 15th fairway we are going to try sand bagging the top of the bunker on the left hand side as a temporary measure to stop water from pouring down from the hill into the bunker until such time as we can get some grasses established to do the job. We are taking the loamy soil from the garden at the 1st tee for the sand bagging and will replace it with some good quality garden soil so that a new garden can be established at the 1st.
Rosalie Dyer helped me to clean up around the putting green area and the gardens in this area,
I hedged the Little Gem Magnolia Garden & the small hedge around the putting green. Rosalie cleaned up the garden behind the Men's 10th tee and we did the magnolia garden and the putting green as well - cleaning out the gardens, raking & cleaning out the gutters around the putting green.
Martin, Geoff, Duncan & Peter helped to clean up the gutters & removed all the rubbish that we had collected. Would you believe a full ute load of rubbish just from this small area.
Many thanks to chef John for leaving us some morning tea cakes for our public holiday work when the kitchen was closed for the day.
It was a Stirling effort from our F-Troopers today.
YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
