F-Troop - Monday 24th February 2020



F-Troop Morning Tea - Rob Benson, Duncan Dyer, Kevin O’Brien, Trevor  Harrison, Sam Knox, Paul Scholberg, Di Beechey, Terry Coyle, Peter Martin (Don Nicholls, John Hollebon, Ron Gowing and Jan Martin)

14th Bush Toilets 
There was a brand new 30 metre hose complete with fittings purchased
two weeks ago - this morning - GONE!



Tops cut out of some of the agave plants



Agave plants leaves cut and dropped on the path



Top cut out of agave plant




We had a great day at F-Troop today getting many good projects done.

On hand we had Trevor Harrison, Duncan Dyer, Kevin O’Brien, Rob Benson, Terry Coyle, Sam Knox, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, Ron Gowing, John Hollebon, Di Beechey and Jan Martin.

Projects worked on today were loose timber and rubbish pick up around the course, trimming of the hedges at the 10th and 18th, tidy up around the clubhouse, 1st and 10th tees, clean out of weed from the dams, preparation of firewood, weeding of garden on the Men’s 3rd tee, clean out and removal of lockers from the locker room, cleaning of the bush toilets, weeding the greenspace gardens, planting in more ground cover plants at the 6th native gardens including weeding.

Once again the vandals have arrived. Some low life are frequenting our course again this time removing a 30 metre hose plus fittings that we had just purchased two weeks ago for the 14th bush toilets. These items were paid for by our generous members who donate money so we can purchase plants and equipment for the course. In addition these low life (who must be suffering mental issues) cut the top off some of the agavi plants at the 14th bush toilets and cut the top branches off the pink frangipani at the 15th - not to steal them as the offcuts were left lying on the ground. It is getting to be just another day here on the course.

We appreciated morning tea as we had all done a huge mornings work.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!



Men’s Pennants Results

A great day at Kooindah Waters today. The course was in great shape considering it was closed last Tuesday. Special mention to Eddy Hoskins and the Pro shop staff who really did everything possible to make both teams feel welcome. Thanks also to Everglades who played the game in the spirit Gosford enjoys. 

How close again with our A grade team who lost 5.5/2 but 7 of our games finished on the 18th. Matt hit a 2 iron from 230 metres on the 18th to 25 foot and sank the putt to win his match. Tony Van der Kolk also had a good win.

Our B grade team looked so good early and were very confident, but Everglades fought back well and a few OOB shots on the last may have cost us a win. Next best thing a draw. Well done to Glen and Brian who had a very good win finishing strongly. 
A week can be a long time in golf and after a great win last week things turned sour, but we will be there again next week and hopefully return to last week’s form.

A Grade Captain Duncan Brown was unable to play due to injury but was there to support the team and spot on a few of the blind holes. Thanks Duncan

F-Troop Morning Tea - Duncan Dyer, Kevin O’Brien, Trevor Harrison, Paul Scholberg, Peter Martin, Jan Martin and Don Nicholls (Rob Benson, Terry Coyle, John Hollebon, Ron Gowing)




I was working on the 6th tee today when the storm hit but I could not fit
under the storm shelter because it was full of “golfers”.




It was a big day at Gosford Golf Course today with about 150 odd District Women Golfers playing in the Open Day.  The rush was on to get everything tidied and in order before start in play,

Unfortunately we had a storm arrive about 9.00am which called a stop for half an hour. Some teams finished early when there was follow up rain but others soldiered on.

Our F-Troop projects were much the same when the rain called a halt to some of our projects.

On hand we had Trevor Harrison, Duncan Dyer, Kevin O’Brien, Rob Benson, TerryCoyle, John Hollebon, Ron Gowing, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin and Jan Martin.

Projects worked on today were Gate control, Loose Timber and rubbish pick up, tidy up at the front of the clubhouse and the 1st and 10th Tees, hedge maintenance, firewood preparation, cleaning of the bush toilets, planting of more ground cover plants at the 6th tee native garden, tidy up of the 6th tranquility garden including some removal of couch grass, fertilising the roses at the putting green and the Wedding Garden, securing the iceberg rose at the putting green, maintenance at the clubhouse, removal of damaged drain pipe.

We were all a little water damaged and appreciated morning tea.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Today was a nice clear day for golf, the course had drained well after all the rain. some breeze towards the afternoon was appreciated as the humidity was high. Our playing partners were Russell Willings and Melanie Forster who were great company. We had some good highlights with a birdie on the 10th from Russell and some good 3 pointers from Meanie.  There was some debate after our match as to who had won the Keno tickets - the boys eventually surrendered.

Pennants Results - Sunday 16th February 2020

Gosford played Kooindah Waters today at Everglades Country Club in our first Pennant match of the season. Considering all the recent weather the course was in great condition and a pleasure to play.

We looked good early and I thought we may get a win in all 3 grades, but Kooindah Waters fought back very well to narrowly win A grade and get away with a win in B Grade. What a difference a few putts can make. 

Gosford C grade though had a great win.
Nathan James won comfortably and will only get better with his new clubs. Paul Jefferson was on top all day and Shane Liedich fought on well to square his match. Special mention to Duncan Brown who injured his back before a ball was hit but soldiered on to go down on the 17th. Thanks to Garry Fitch who came along and supported the team.
Alex Palasty hit the ball long and straight all day and was ably supported by Keith Potter and they ran away with their match 5/3. 

Our other two teams went down by the narrowest of margins but could have easily won their matches. Thanks to Scott Pilarski who was one of the first to arrive in case one of our B grade team where unable to play.

Flynn Cho is a star in the making and combined well with Michael Bacigalupo to win with 4 holes to spare. David James and Dave Wilson were never out of second gear and won 2 up. Cameron Dench and Clive fought back from 4 down on the twelve to be 1 down on the 18th. Clive put his second shot to 4 feet and was standing next to me on the green waiting to sink his birdie putt. His opponent drilled his shot into Clive’s left shoulder. Clive brushed himself off and calmly sank the putt and followed up with a fist punch as he squared the match.

Next week we take on Everglades at Kooindah Waters and I’m expecting our big guns to fire and I’m confident of a big win.

How good is Golf

F-Troop - Monday 10th February 2020

After many days of constant rain the course has needed to be closed due to the volume of water we have received - 400 mls I believe. I understand the course will be re-opened tomorrow and the Ladies Competition will be on - but no carts allowed.




F-Troop Morning Tea - Clyde Cruickshanks, Peter Martin, Trevor Harrison, Kevin O’Brien, Duncan Dyer, John Hollebon, (Rob Benson, Don Nicholls, Jan Martin, Sam Knox)



























Full trees down on the 4th and 15th, many large branches down all over the course and drains blocked. These photos are only some of the damage.





We had 9 volunteers today and we needed all of them.  There were branches down everywhere and we only had time to clear the worst of them.

On hand were Trevor Harrison, Kevin O’Brien, Rob Benson, Duncan Dyer, Sam Knox, John Hollebon, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin and Jan Martin.

Projects worked on today were of course loose timber and rubbish pick up, removal of fallen tree at the 14th and cutting up the fallen tree on the 15th, hedge maintenance, cleaning the bush toilets, trimming of agave plants in the greenspace garden, dead heading roses at the putting green and securing the Rose bush after the high wind damage.

The water was draining off the fairways and hopefully it will be clear enough to play on tomorrow.

Morning tea was appreciated after all the hard pick up work.

We had another humid day for our F-Troop projects today and luckily completed all of them before the showers started.

On hand we had 10 volunteers - Trevor Harrison, Kevin O’Brien, Rob Benson, Matt Carroll, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, Ron Gowing, John Hollebon, Di Beechey and Jan Martin.

The main project today was the cleaning and remarking of the car parking area. Other projects worked on were loose timber and rubbish  pickup around the course, hedge maintenance, tidy up around the clubhouse, 1st and 10th tees, wedding garden and practice nets, removing fallen shrubs at the ladies 3rd tee, removing weeds at the ladies 3rd tee garden, maintenance inside the clubhouse, cleaning the 14th bush toilets, more mulching on the 14th greenspace gardens, cleaning out the 6th drain, trimming of the Agavi Plants, deadheading of the roses at the putting green.

We were happy to get our projects finished before the showers set in and enjoyed our morning tea.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
