Golf - Monday 24th October 2022

 There was no competition on today due to the course conditions and no carts were allowed on the course.

Social play only today.

F-Troop - Monday 24th October 2022

 

New hedge plants planted today

by F-Trooper John Hollebon

Persistent early morning showers sent us all home from F-Troop bar die-hard John Hollebon who worked through the rain to remove old hedge plants and plant in new plants at the 1st/10th tee.

There were no carts allowed on the fairways so we could not get any heavy vehicles out on the course to do any of our projects.

Consequently there was no “morning tea” photo.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

My thanks to Bob Thomas for today’s report and photos.
