F-Troopers had a very busy day today being down on numbers we had work flat out to get our projects done.
We had Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Martin Gallagher, Garry Trigg, Bruce White, Warren Gray, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, Jan Martin & Anne Burgess to spread the load.
The Tree Gang of Duncan Dyer, Martin Gallagher, Bruce White, Warren Gray & Garry Trigg did a good job of undercutting both sides of the 11th fairway. After morning tea Duncan & Martin worked on placing the two elkhorns donated by Michael & Pauline Norman on the trees in the garden at the 2nd green. We now have a nice collection of elkhorns at that garden. Martin then went on to water and fertilize the Golden Penda on the 2nd.
Trevor Harrison & Don Nicholls did a great job of installing the security for the new cart shed and installed some of the hooks to hold the electrical cables for the carts. This brings us a step closer to having the cart shed up and running.
Anne Burgess cleaned up the BBQ area and back car park and then went on to water gardens at the 14th, 3rd, 5th Camellias gardens and orchids at the bush toilets, cleaned the bush toilets, watered the new trees that have been planted at the 15th and 17th as well as watering other gardens including the daisies at the 4th tee.
Peter Martin was on rubbish pick up on his own - so I abandoned my gardening plans and helped him to collect rubbish and sticks and rake tees at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 7th. There was so much rubbish to pick up that the gardens and tees were given a lick and a promise. I had started cleaning up at the 1st and 10th tees and got the gardens there watered. After morning tea we gave the Tibouchinas at the 2nd fairway a good soaking and also the Golden Penda and some of the Crepe Myrtles. We also watered the garden at the 2nd green and gave the elkhorns a good shower.
We all enjoyed our morning tea of fruit pastries. Thanks Chef John!
With all the hot weather we have had getting water to the gardens is going to be a worry as there is more hot weather to come. Some nice soaking rain in non-golfing hours would be wonderful. Our water storage is limited so we need to get our dams full again.
YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
