Golf - Thursday 3rd August 2010





























There is nothing like an awful wet day to get inside projects done & F-Troopers Martin Gallagher & Peter Martin got to work in the Pro Shop dismantling one of the walls that is to be replaced & then painted the new buggy room walls & also the other buggy room got it's first coat of paint on some of the walls which has made it look much larger & brighter.
We have also added some "Karma" decorations to the new buggy room to soften the look.
Our Ladies Golf Clubs will appreciate 'resting' in this calming atmosphere after being cleaned and
gently parked by our Pro Shop staff.
Member Graham Brown put his skills to work on the counter shop floor. Graham & his business partner laid the flooring today using floor tiles made from recycled PVC which looks very attractive & will be a very practical flooring for this well used area.
The rest of the Pro Shop renovations are going well with the outline becoming clearer every day & progress is being made in all directions. Members Dave Flanagan (builder) and John Coddington (electrician) have been putting in sterling efforts.
Des Wilson has been a busy man acting as the Project Manager to ensure that things keep moving. Thanks for your efforts Des.
There has been a lot of old carpet offcuts and discarded carpet that is going to be put to use as weed matting in some of our gardens in an effort to keep maintenance to a minimum. F-Troop has started on one of the gardens at the front garden & once the carpet is fitted in place it will be covered by woodchip to restore a tidy look which will hopefully hold for a good amount of time & free up our F-Troopers for more important tasks than weeding.
AS FOR GOLF - Well, there wasn't any - due to the woeful weather we have had overnight and this morning. We had something like half an inch of rain overnight & some really wild winds. The showers continued for most of the morning after which the sun finally made an appearance.
Hopefully we will have some sunshine and wind over the next few days to help dry out the water logged course.
The L'Oreal Day that was to be held today has been postponed until Tuesday 7th September 2010.
The Match Committee has postponed the Singles Knock Out that was due to be played this Thursday 5th August 2010. The next round in this event will be held on Thursday 26th August 2010.
GOLF TOMORROW - At last call the course will be open. Golf will be on, with preferred lies but no carts will be allowed. This decision will be subject to review early tomorrow morning so it would be best to check with the Pro Shop prior to play.
