Course Beautification BBQ

Course Beautification Christmas BBQ at the greensheds

Well it's that time of year again where we all sit down and wonder where the past twelve months have gone! Today was the last course beautification meeting for the year, where once again some more invaluable work was carried out by this small dedicated group of volunteers in less than perfect conditions. The Christmas BBQ is a an annual event that allows the course staff and the group to get together at the greensheds and celebrate the good work that has been carried out over the past twelve months. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the group for the work that they carry out, which in turn takes some of the pressure off of the staff, allowing them to concentrate on their scheduled course maintenance. If anyone would be interested in joining the group to help out around the course, the first meeting of the new year is scheduled for Friday 20th January, meeting at the clubhouse at 9.00am.

Sheep alongside the 12th tee

All this week we have been having visitors from the neighbours paddock. Every morning we have been herding them back next door, and then repairing the fence only to find them back again the following morning, having gained entry through a different spot in the fence. Just one of the more unusual tasks staff have to carry out as part of their daily maintenance!
