Projects worked on today were Loose Timber and Rubbish pick around the course, tree maintenance, delivery of a trailer load of mulch to the 6th, hedge maintenance, firewood delivery, clean up underneath the clubhouse, flowers out to the bush toilets and 6th tranquility garden, raking the paths around the bush toilets, weeding the 6th tranquility garden and a start made on adding mulch to the 6th gardens

We did our best to find a sunny spot for morning tea but could not escape the wind.

The fresh sandwiches were well received after a hard mornings work.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Golf - Sunday 7th May 2023

 A drop in temperature was felt today on the golf course - 15 degrees and several rain showers that made it feel even colder. 

Our playing partners today were Steve and Geraldine Turner and we braved it through a few holes in showers, then the sun broke out and it was pleasant for another six holes and then the showers returned and the temperature dropped even further. We decided to call it a day after the 9th hole and the sound of thunder. The weather did eventually clear again so some players could finish their rounds.

The Golf Event of the day was a Medley Single Stableford.

RESULTS:

We had 30 starters of which seven did not finish.

WINNER: Jack Swainston - 34 points
