Golf - Sunday 9th April 2017

With Fran and Owen James at the 1st Tee

Birthday Wishes for Kevin O'Brien at Gosford Hotel

by the stayers

We had all blue skies and sunshine today at the Village Green together with a nice breeze which we hoped would dry out the course. Unfortunately tonight we did get the predicted thunderstorm and more rain which was unwanted as the course was muddy in places but overall not too bad. Our playing partners were Owen and Fran James who were great company and we did enjoy some highlights the best of which was Peter's birdie on the 15th and we did chime in with some 3 pointers.

The Golf Event of the day was a Single Stableford for Men and Ladies + Team Split Sixes

There were 68 starters.

EASTER CHILDREN'S DISCO was a huge success with 115 children attending with their families staying for dinner and the raffles.

Some were not as impressed with the Easter Bunny as others

Members Lounge full

The quiet zone in the Magnolia Room

Some good moves on the dance floor

Our young guests had a wonderful time and enjoyed the music, face painting, balloons, dinner pack, gift pack of crayons and colour books and thankfully all the parents and grandparents survived the night which was well organised by Bron Carroll.

Golf - Thursday 6th April 2017

The Course is open today but is very wet.  No carts are allowed but those who are keen enough to walk the course can play.

Golf - Wednesday 5th April 2017

The showers have continued...... we are all "over" the rain I am sure.

The course is closed today and will be reviewed again before golf tomorrow.

Watch this space.

Golf - Tuesday 4th April 2017

The wet weather continues and today the course is closed so there is no Ladies Competition.

The course was very wet yesterday so no doubt the overnight rain has contributed to the closure.

Let us hope we get enough sunshine today the let the course drain away enough for tomorrow's competition.

More work done trimming the hedges at the front of the clubhouse

Clear view down the 18th fairway

Hedges trimmed at the 18th

We had a rain sodden track today with a few social golfers out.

The scheduled Ladies Pennant Matches were postponed due to

the condition of the course.

Tranquility Garden at the 6th tidied up

Tranquility garden at the 6th weeded, raked and swept

Given it was a showery day we were lucky to have enough volunteers to get some projects done at the front of the clubhouse which meant we did not have to take heavy machinery out onto the course.

The course was very wet after overnight rain and continuing showers.

On hand were Kevin O'Brien, Trevor Harrison, Duncan Dyer, Geoff Bridge, Rob Benson, Terry Coyle, Garry Trigg, John Hollebon, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess and Jan Martin.

Projects worked on today were further trimming of the hedges in front of the clubhouse, trimming and tidy up of the front street garden, tidy up of the BBQ area and club surrounds, cleaning of the 14th bush toilets, clean up of the drain blockage at the back of the 14th tee, tidy up of the gardens in the green space at the 14th, intensive weeding, raking and sweeping of the Tranquility Garden at the 6th Tee. 

Morning Tea was welcomed after a big effort today.  Thank you to Barto for the supply of our morning tea selection.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
