The early cloud cover gave us some comfortable working conditions this morning which was appreciated as we had much to do after the excessive heat, wind and rain of the last week. The course was a mess with a lot of loose timber down.
We had twelve volunteers today to share the load. Duncan Dyer, Geoff Bridge, Trevor Harrison, Martin Gallagher, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, Warren Gray, Rob Benson, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess, Jan Martin and we welcomed a newcomer - Richard Henry who was able to help out this morning. Thanks Richard!
The Tree Gang of Duncan Dyer, Martin Gallagher, Geoff Bridge & Richard Henry worked their way through the rest of the 16th fairway and onto the 17th fairway undercutting low lying trees. They took away nine trailer loads to the dumping area.
Trevor Harrison & Don Nicholls worked on connecting a pump to the water supply to enable pressurised filling to the batteries in the carts at the new cart shed, then worked on repairing the old rotary hoe with the assistance of Geoff Bridge so that work could begin on creating a garden bed at the new cart shed area.
Rob Benson & Warren Gray had the daunting task of rubbish pick up around the course and managed to take five trailer loads to the dumping area.
Peter Martin co-ordinated the workers, worked on the repair of the rotary hoe, raked up at the back of the club and assisted where needed.
Di Beechey arrived very early and raked up at the BBQ area and back driveway, trimmed the Agapanthus and weeded at the front gardens, raked up at the 18th green and hedge area and the 1st and 10th tees.
Anne Burgess was also an early starter helping Di clean up the BBQ area, raked the area between the 17th green and the 18th tee, helped me to clean up the wedding garden area.
My time was spent at the wedding garden area, the putting green area and the 1st and 10th tees - weeding and raking as needed and fertilized the roses.
Morning tea of Aussie Scrolls were appreciated by the hard working troopers. Thanks Chef John!
Yesterday's welcome rainfall gave us a break from watering today so we could concentrate on the clean up of the course.
YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
