WARNING!!!!  It is Bunya Pine falling time.  

We have got a bunch of Bunya Pines (protected trees) at the 16th and 17th fairways.

You may have noticed warning signs attached to the trees that advise you of the danger of these falling pine cones.

These warning signs should be taken seriously as these pine cones will fall without warning from the trees weighing upwards of two kilos with sharp thorns that could be fatal if you should be unfortunate enough to be in the path of the fall.  Please be cautious when searching for your golf ball in these areas. 

I have been on the fairway when these cones have fallen and could feel the ground shake! They come down with a great thump.

We had a lovely day for golf today - not nearly as hot as yesterday and luckily a small breeze to keep the heat at bay.  Our playing partners were Michael and Pauline Norman and we had a good day on the village green.  The boys beat the girls for the Keno ticket on the 18th after the girls were two up at half way.  

The Golf Event of the day was a 2 Ball Team plus Single Par Mixed Men and Ladies. 

We had 60 starters with 1 visitor from Kooindah Waters.
