Ball Credits
You can cash in your ball credits for $2.50 each and use this to buy goods in the golf shop. It is getting towards the end of the members financial year at the end of May and we would hate to see you not use your ball credits.
Of course you also purchase golf balls!
Veterans Week of Golf
We wish all of our members who are involved in this tournament a great experience and some success. We will see you all at Jamberoo on Tuesday.
White Duck Day
Vice-President and organiser of the White Duck Charity Golf Day for JDRF, Keith Hales, has informed me that places are filling fast for the 16th of March event. However there is still plenty of room so get your team together and play. Lone players are also welcome as we can easily fit you in with another team.
The booking sheet is in the Golf Shop.
Thanks again to Drummond Golf and Srixon.
Green Damage
You may have noticed that a few of the greens appear to have been burnt in places. We think this was due to contaminated soil supplied by our usual supplier. This was purchased to top-dress the greens for the current maintenance period. We only buy premium soil for this purpose so if it is the soil then we would be very upset at the soil company. Soil samples are being taken to confirm this suspicion.
Rest assured your greenstaff are working hard to repair the damage. This may involve the use of more water than usual [and a consequently softer putting surface]
Have your say
Some ideas have been suggested about the bush area behind the second green. With the trees near the front right of the green trimmed right down the hole is playing significantly easier and the match committee would like your opinion on which of the following is the best option.
A: Leave it as it is with balls played into the area receiving a free drop at the drop zone.
B: Make it out of bounds so that balls hit into the area must be replayed after a penalty
C: Make the area a red hazard with a compulsory drop at the drop zone after a penalty.
D: Make it that a ball entering this area must be replayed without a penalty.
