The Late Doon Delaney

Sadly Doon passed away yesterday after recent heart problems. Doon will be missed by all of our golfers especially to Ladies who have been playing golf with her for many years. Doon was a very talented artist as well as a good golfer.

I will post funeral details as soon as information comes to hand.

Rest In Peace Doon.

Golf - Tuesday 28th July 2020

There is no Ladies Golf today as the course has been CLOSED due to the course conditions.

More overnight rain and morning showers has not helped the conditions.

F-Troop - Monday 27th July 2020

F-Troop morning tea - Kevin O’Brien, Peter Martin, Don Nicholls, Trevor Harrison, Peter Cruden, Duncan Dyer (Jan Martin, John Hollebon).




We had a few die-hards turning up this morning with showers threatening:

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

The course was saturated so no vehicles of any kind were allowed on the course. Fortunately we could work off the course before the showers settled in.

Projects worked on today was path maintenance at the 2nd tee, firewood preparation, firewood delivery, weeding and cleaning up the garden at the putting green including removal of seeding camphour Laurel trees.

Firewood supplies for this year have run out. We thank our members for their support with this project.

YES!, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! 

Golf - Monday 27th July 2020

The Club had a double whammy with the course being closed after all of yesterday’s rain plus the town water was cut off because of a broken main at the hospital which caused the Clubhouse to be closed due to no water supply.

Hopefully better news tomorrow but more rain is coming so a decision will be made tomorrow morning after the course conditions have been checked - however there will not be any carts allowed on if golf does go ahead.
