Agapanthus around the course adding interesting colour over the Christmas period.



We had a big day at F-Troop today with many projects to be done to try and keep the course looking its best over the holiday period.

Volunteers on hand were Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Geoff Bridge, Kevin O'Brien, Warren Gray, Rob Benson, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, John Hollebon, Di Beechey, Carolyn Buttsworth and Jan Martin.

The Tree Gang of Duncan, Trevor, Geoff and Kevin were able to remove a dangerous branch from a tree on the 9th and continue on with undercutting around the course.

Rob and a Warren did a great job of rubbish and loose timber pick up around the course.

Peter and Don installed new toilet cisterns in the Men's locker Room and took care of in- house maintenance jobs

John Hollebon did a fabulous job of trimming the hedges at the 1st and 10th tees so it will all be tidy for the Christmas period.

Di and Carolyn tidied up the BBQ area and underneath the clubhouse, bought more hedge plants for the 4th tee to replace those shrubs that were lost in the heat, added some more plants to the gardens including tibouchinas in the wedding Gaden.

The first thing that went wrong with my day was a flat tyre on our F-Troop cart which the boys fixed after morning tea with a spare tyre that was luckily found to be on hand. My jobs today included cleaning the bush toilets and watering the gardens there, tidied up the tranquility garden on the 6th, trimmed the shrubs and weeded at the native garden at the 6th tee, watered the pots in the gazebo, watered the gardens at the 1st and 10th tee and checked the water feature. 

We were well and truly ready for 10.30 morning tea which was most appreciated - Thanks Barto!

It is bark falling time which makes it difficult to keep the course tidy especially at the 1st and 10th tees where it rains leaves, sticks and bark from the trees there constantly.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
