This morning club vice-captain, Larry Kent, and assistant greenkeeper Brendan Armstrong made a detailed inspection of the course. The course is still very wet and much mud is still visible on the course. As I write the greenstaff are busy attending to this problem and working on getting more of the course in play. Apparently there has been a landslide in front of the 16th green which is naturally of concern. No carts or motorised vehicles as yet.
Arrangements for Play
We will continue to play our modified 9 hole course Saturday, Monday and Tuesday with the following temporary local rules:
- All bunkers are out of play. A free drop, not nearer the hole, is available if you should end up in a bunker.
- Bare and mud patches are GUR and a free drop can be taken not nearer the hole.
- A club length preferred lie is available in the general area of the course (ie fairways and rough). This does not include penalty areas.
The March monthly medal planned for Saturday will be postponed until a later date. In its place a medley stableford will be played.
On Wednesday, weather permitting, it is hoped to have 12 holes open for play. Holes 1-9, then 10, 11 and 18.
Further plans for 15 holes will possibly be in place for the following Saturday.
Practice on the Course
The course is currently closed except for morning competition rounds. Please do not go onto the course to practice. You can still use the practice putting green and the practice fairway. If a member of the greenstaff asks you to leave please do so at once.
Is golf still on tomorrow ( Monday) ?

Sorry Ken, it has been cancelled. The greenstaff are doing the best they can to get the course ready but the continual rain is hindering their efforts.
