F-Troop - Monday 22nd June 2015


F-Troop Morning Tea - John Hollebon, Don Nicholls, Trevor Harrison, Carolyn Buttsworth,
Rob Benson, Peter Martin, Duncan Dyer, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess, Kevin O'Brien, Geoff Bridge,
Mark Stimpson (Jan Martin)


Front car park raked and tidied up



Front street garden trimmed and weeded




Front of the clubhouse gardens, hedges and car park  tidied up


Hedges at the front steps trimmed



Garden in front of the clubhouse trimmed and weeded




Tap at the 10th tee replaced




Practice nets cleaned up and re-tied.



We were not deterred by heavy vehicles and carts not being allowed on the course and easily found other projects that did not require us to be on the course.

We had 12 volunteers today giving us the ability to get some good jobs done. On hand were Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Don Nicholls, Rob Benson, Geoff Bridge, Peter Martin, Kevin O'Brien, John Hollebon, Di Beechey, Carolyn Buttsworth, Anne Burgess and Jan Martin.

Given that we could not get on the course to do tree trimming the tree gang of Duncan Dyer, Geoff Bridge, Trevor Harrison and Kevin O'Brien delivered two Loads of firewood to clients. Kevin also cleaned out the drain near the out of bounds at the 18th.

Rob Benson and John Hollebon trimmed the front street garden, cleaned the car park, did the hedges at the front steps and the garden in front of the clubhouse, cleaned out the garden on the school side of the club entrance, 
.
Peter Martin and Don Nicholls helped with the timber delivery, replaced a tap in the garden at the 10th Tee, and then combined with Rob and John to work on the practice nets.

Di Beechey cleaned up the front car park, helped with the front gardens and with Carolyn Buttsworth's help did some clean up jobs in the clubhouse.

Anne Burgess tidied up the BBQ Garden, checked the water features and did some weed poisoning.

I tidied up the back car park, worked in the front street gardens with John and Rob, trimmed out the dead strelitzia flowers, tidied up the magnolia garden, trimmed some shrubs. In total we filled four garbage bins with rubbish.

Morning tea of iced fruit loaf, bacon rolls, croisonts and cup cakes was very much appreciated by the hard working troopers.  Thank you a Chef Alice!

We are looking forward to the course drying out a bit so we can get our on course projects done.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!


TOMORROW'S GOLF:

I understand that carts will be allowed on for the Ladies Golf tomorrow.  Caution is encouraged whilst driving carts - take care not to enter very wet areas as carts may well get bogged.

The Course was still very wet from the recent rain and consequently no carts were allowed on the course which meant the end of our golf and our partners Brent Frewin and Anne Forrester and others.

The forecast for this coming week looks better so I hope we get a lot of sunshine and some wind to dry the course out.

Golf - Friday 19th June 2015

Yet more rain today to dampen our spirits but better weather tomorrow and Sunday I believe.

There was no golf competition today because of the rain but tomorrow golf should go ahead weather permitting, but it is doubtful that carts will be allowed on.  Check with the pro shop in the morning regarding the current condition of the course.

Good luck!

The sun is out but all too late to encourage our ladies competition today. 

There was no golf competition but there are social players out there hoping for 18 holes

More rain is forecast for this afternoon and tomorrow.  After that we are hoping for some sunshine for the weekend so we can get on with what we like doing best - GOLF!
