The Course was so wet today that we could not take out any heavy equipment or vehicles onto the course which meant we had to take care of projects that we could do with those restrictions.
We had eleven volunteers which was helpful as there were a lot of jobs to get done. We had Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Geoff Bridge, Warren Gray, Rob Benson, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, Anne Burgess, Carolyn Buttsworth, Di Beechey and Jan Martin.
The Tree Gang of Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Geoff Bridge, Rob Benson & Warren Gray did some good work clearing out along the 17th Fairway.
Peter Martin & Don Nicholls replaced some kitchen taps and repaired a waterlogged plant pot at the 10th.
Carolyn Buttsworth, Di Beechey & Anne Burgess cleaned up underneath the Clubhouse. Anne also worked at Camellia Way cleaning up the grass garden.
I was allowed to take my work cart out to the 14th Garden where I removed a lot of small palm trees that had seeded up through the garden and generally cleaned up that area. Anne Burgess helped me to do some weeding and cleaning up at the 15th Tee and at the Bush Toilets. We also removed some Fireweed from the 13th fairway.
Morning Tea of small cake slices was welcomed - Thank you Chef Brad!
It is amazing just how much cleaning up needed to be done after all the rain. Loose timber pick was not possible today due to the restriction of vehicles on the course.
The Charity Day programmed for today had to be cancelled due to the state of the course and carts were not allowed on the course.
Carts will not be allowed on tomorrow either - so it will be a bit of a slog through the wet. We did have social golfers on the course today who said it was not too bad - but very wet underfoot.
YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
