We had a few hazards to contend with today with a group of 60 social players on the course and as well it rained on our parade just to make things a little more difficult. We had eleven volunteers which was good for a cold wintery day.
We had Trevor Harrison, Don Nicholls, Rob Benson, Peter Martin, Warren Gray, Garry Trigg, Duncan Dyer, Martin Gallagher, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess and Jan Martin to share the load. Because we could not work too much out on the course we took on projects that were on the outskirts away from wayward golf balls.
The Tree gang of Duncan Dyer, Peter Martin, Martin Gallagher & Garry Trigg worked on taking down two trees at the back of the practice chipping area near the 1st tee assisted by the greenstaff & bobcat to remove the heavy base of the trees.
Trevor Harrison & Don Nicholls did some good maintenance work - repairing the damaged brick fence in the front parking area and repairing the damaged security fence at the back of the 10th green.
Rob Benson & Warren Gray did rubbish pick up and then helped with the removal of the tree branches at the practice chipping area.
Di Beechey and Anne Burgess fertilized the camellias in Camellia Way, did a good job of raking up some of the untidy tees and cleaned up at the bush toilets.
I worked around the wedding garden area raking up and weeding the back gardens near the practice nets and then gave the practice nets a good rake out and sweep; planted in some mondo grass donated by Martin Gallagher.
We had a lovely slice for morning tea which was very welcome after we had all got a bit damp working in the rain. Thanks Chef John!
We had some great news during the week. The Central Coast Leagues Club Social Golfers donated $200 to F-Troop which was really appreciated. This will cover the cost of the shade arbor that was built at the 14th which a lot of the Members will appreciate especially next summer. A BIG THANK YOU TO MICHAEL BROWN AND THE CENTRAL COAST LEAGUES CLUB SOCIAL GOLFERS!
YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
