The green staff are putting sand in all the bunkers this coming Monday. We have a tip truck that will put the sand into the bunkers but we are looking for volunteers to help rake the sand around the bunkers. If you are free this coming Monday please meet at the green keepers shed at 9am with a rake if you have one.

Reminder to everyone that the womens golf starts again on Wednesday 10th February.

SUNDAY CLUB CALL OUT!

THIS SUNDAY! A Club Day Fundraiser has been organised to raise a little money from within the club membership to help with repairs to the irrigation system. The day has been organised by club member Paul Rickard with sponsorship from keen club supporters Diane Ritchie and Christine Gunness of Ray White Realty. Lots of prizes to be won! While this event will certainly not pay for the work needed to be undertaken — it will be viewed as a chance to make a show of support for your golf course. You will need a good excuse not to be entered! It's an ambrose event starting from 8.00am this Sunday morning in teams of three off two tees. Please get names in to the Pro Shop this week as soon as possible.
