Irrigation System Upgrade

The new pump station being transported to the pumpshed

This week saw the club start on the first stage of the irrigation system upgrade. A new packaged pump station incorporating multi-stage variable speed pumps has been installed in the pumpshed. These new pumps will reduce the strain on the existing system and extend the serviceable life during the installation of the new system.

New plantings at the rear of the 5th tee

You may have noticed the temporary shade cloth screen at the rear of the 5th tee, this has been put in place while the new plantings of the hedging plant Syzygium australe - Hinterland Gold establish and grow to an acceptable height to provide a permanent screen from the road.

Don't forget that next week is coring week. Weather permitting, the front nine greens are being cored and sanded on Monday and the back nine greens on Tuesday. All greens are also being scarified as part of the process, with this operation being carried out by a contractor throughout the day on Monday. While every effort will be made to keep disruption of play to a minimum on the in-play back nine greens, your co-operation will be required to help this operation run as smooth as possible and this may be a good opportunity for you to consider using your Club Advantage card.
