and getting ready to mulch


The hot weather has arrived as predicted so an early start this morning was a good idea.

We had 12 volunteers today including three of our lady members who have put their hands up to be honorary F-Troopers to enable them to adopt a garden on the course. 

On hand we had Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Kevin O’Brien, Rob Benson, David Medcalf, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, Ron Gowing, Lyn Bates, Leeanne Binns, Carolyn Buttsworth and Jan Martin.

I was very happy to welcome our honorary F-Troopers today. Lyn Bates and Leeanne Binns who have taken on the 5th Ladies Tee gardens as well as Carolyn Buttsworth and Leeanne Binns who have taken on the 2nd dam garden. The girls have done an amazing job bringing the gardens back to life and giving the TLC that they need.  My sincere thanks for that.

I understand the corner is referred to as the BBB BEND. (Binns, Bates and Buttsworth)

Projects worked on today were loose timber and rubbish pick up around the course; firewood preparation; a start made to repair the fence at the 18th; tidy up of the paths in front of the clubhouse, paths to the 1st and 10th tee, practice nets and practice greens; more mulch onto the 15th roundabout garden, weeding of the 15th Men’s Tee Garden getting it ready for mulching; measuring up for paving work to be done at the Practice Green.

The temperature had lifted by 10 o’clock so we were happy to call it a day and enjoy our morning tea of fresh sandwiches.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
