F-Troop Monday 23rd April 2012









It was not very good weather for our F-Trooping this morning.  The showers continued all morning which restricted us from getting too involved with the gardens.

We were fortunate to have twelve volunteers which made the major project much easier to achieve.
We had Duncan Dyer, Peter Martin, Geoff Bridge, George Foster, Warren Gray, Richard Casey, Rob Benson, Bruce White, Trevor Harrison, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess and Jan Martin.

The boys had the task of transporting the dismantled shed from Cary Street to the Golf Club security shed which was a mammoth task.   They had the job done before morning tea - no worries at all.

Di Beechey & Anne Burgess cleaned up around the car park and underneath the clubhouse.  As the showers were relentless we decided a major garden project would be difficult so we spent the morning doing an in depth inspection of all the course gardens, making notes of work to be done and potential improvements around the course so that we can get our projects in order of priority.  We managed to get some small areas tidied up before morning tea.

Morning Tea was appreciated as we were all cold and damp. Chef John prepared us a lovely fruit & nut slice that we all enjoyed.  Thanks Chef John!

Bert Jordon dropped off some plants for our gardens - "Yesterday, today & tomorrow" which will enhance our gardens on the 6th.  Thank you Bert!   I noticed today that we have got another couple of orchids missing (as in stolen) from the garden on the 18th which is a real shame because they were growing beautifully there. Bert originally donated those orchids too us and it is so disappointing to see that some people have very little respect for the efforts that some members put in to make our course beautiful.

Today the Ladies A Grade Pennants matches were played at Gosford in the rain.  (Photo attached of all the umbrellas sitting up like mushrooms at the 1st tee.  My thanks to Christine Drakeford for that photo.

Other photo attached is my grand daughter Emily into the shoe drawer that she finds very attractive.
