Hello from Bowral - not exactly beautiful one day and perfect the next - but we did manage to get 18 holes of golf in at Highlands Golf Course at Mittagong which was the driest of all the very wet golf courses in the district. We were supposed to be playing at Wollongong but that has been totally out of action. The course here at Gibraltar was out of action today as was Bowral Golf Course due to the heavy rain storms. Highlands was our best option and may be our only choice for tomorrow as well as Moss Vale has also been under wet weather stress.
Gosford by comparison in the wet has not suffered nearly as much as the local courses here.
The courses here could do with some F-Troop help!
F-Troop today was all action with a lot of clean up work being done by our volunteers.
We had Martin Gallagher, Geoff Bridge, Duncan Dyer, Rob Benson, Warren Gray, Garry Trigg, Bruce White, Di Beechey and Anne Burgess on hand to get some good work done.
The boys cleaned up the bark & rubbish at the otto bin area in the back car park, collected up all the fallen pine cones at the 16th/17th area; Swept the paths and surrounds at the 7th, 17th and the path between the 17th green and the 18th tee.
Warren and Bruce did a rubbish pick up on the front 9.
Duncan & Geoff removed fallen branches around the course.
Di Beechey & Anne Burgess cleaned up the car park and BBQ area; weeded the 4th garden near the tee and planted out some pigface plants which was donated by Bill and Annette Dunk; roped and staked the hedge plants in the front gardens; Trimmed the agapanthus and weeded the garden at the 2nd and weeded the putting green area.
It was a very busy morning and all our workers appreciated morning tea of tasty muffins. Thanks Chef John!
Clean up work is always one of the hardest tasks because it is so ongoing - like painting the Harbour Bridge - it makes a huge impression when the course looks clean & tidy.
YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
