and the tree has no sign of setback from pruning

We had another busy day at F-Troop today being down a few members who had better offers.

On hand we had Trevor Harrison, Duncan Dyer, Kevin O'Brien, Geoff Bridge, John Hollebon, Rob Benson, Andy Henebury,Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, Di Beechey & Jan Martin.

Projects worked on today were undercutting of trees, pick up of loose timber and rubbish from the course, maintenance of hedges and gardens, mulching of gardens, watering of various gardens, new plants added to the garden at the 2nd green, tidy up around the clubhouse, 1st and 10th tees, watering the new hedge plants at the 4th and 10th, cleaning of the bush toilets, maintenance to taps at the 10th tee, a new seat installed at the 6th tee.

It was pleasing to see a lot of new shoots emerging from the Japanese Elm of the 6th tee which is looking very healthy and happy.

After a big morning working on our projects we enjoyed our morning tea - Thank You Barto!

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me: Joyce Bosley hit the ball well for her 45 points which included two 4 pointers; Terry Coyle had pars on the 1st, 3rd, 14th and was on the 12th green for 1; Sandra Coyle played a good back 9 and parred the 1st hole; Peter Martin had 39 points and had pars at the 2/3/4/6th; Di Beechey scored a nice 38 points and had a birdie on the 11th; Clyde Cruickshanks had a birdie on the 5th; Leonie Margin had 25 points on the front 9; Brett Margin had 10 putts at birdies and managed to succeed at the 11th and the 14th; Rosalie Dyer had six 3 pointers on the back 9 scoring 21 points on the nine; Duncan Dyer had 23 points the back 9 and his highlight was beating Peter Martin on a countback; Tania Walklate had no wipes and drove to the green on the 8th, 12th and 14th; Geraldine Turner had a good game, scoring 39 points and no wipes; Sheena Asken had a birdie on the 17th and scored a nice 41 points; Annie Brink played well for her 38 points; Andrew Henebury had his best game in a while scoring a win in the singles; Brent Frewin had a birdie on the 14th; Rod Winter ( a new member)  enjoyed the company of Russell Willings and Mel Forster having an awesome day; Mel Forster had 23 points on the back 9 and had 4/4 on the 17th; my highlight was back to finishing with the same ball I started with, avoided all water and bunkers.

I understand that a red bellied black snake was spotted at the 2nd fairway today so it is time to be aware that snake season is approaching.

I have had more members showing concern for the Japanese Elm tree at the 6th that has just had a trim of the excess and dangerous branches.  If you look closely at the tree right now you will see new shoots emerging from every branch of the tree - they are only two to three inches in length but there are many of them and they will soon spring the tree back to normal growth.  The tree was pruned at the right time of the year while it is in dormant stage.
