The Hooker Cup Final. 

The Hooker Cup final was played Tuesday with Marie Smith & Neen Coffee up against Lidia Waine & Tracey Watson.

It was a tightly contested match which went to the 16th hole with Lidia and Tracey victorious, winning 3/2.

Lidia stated: “it was a battle to stay in front. Tracey played exceptionally well to keep us in front or squared. Marie kept us on our toes. However, we managed to take charge on the last few holes.”

Well played to our winners and runners up.

Thank you to all of our members for their patience today. The Internet is back up and running!

For those members who could not pay by cash this morning then it would be appreciated that you pay for today’s round on your next visit to the club.

Mens Fourball Matchplay.

The first match has been played and what a match it was!

Phil Gosling and Craig Foster were up against the strong and experienced pairing of Ron Hewson and Les Skarratts. In a close tussle Phil and Craig edged their way to a 2 up lead with 2 to play. Ron and Les found that little bit extra and succeeded in winning the last two holes to send the match into overtime.

Down the first they went for a second time with Phil and Craig rebounding to win the playoff hole and progress to the next round.

Wednesday Comp Issues.

The provider of our internet at the club has had its systems crash at about 11 am today Australia wide. Unless service is restored overnight we will have to go ‘old school’ and have hand written cards and accept payment by cash only.

Members are requested to have their GA handicap available and to calculate their daily handicap from the ‘White’ Course.

There will be no ‘in conjunction’ event held if this is the case.

These events are beyond our control and we appreciate members forbearance.

Lets hope service is restored.

Transition to NEW MyGolf & Get Into Golf portal.

Transition to new platform 

In alignment with the retirement of GOLF Link and the introduction of Golf Australia’s new handicapping, membership and club management system – GolfConnect, the current Participation Portal will also transition across to this new platform. 

GolfConnect will be the new home for the MyGolf & Get Into Golf program and will act as the central hub for clubs/venues to manage their Participation programs. This transition is a significant evolution for the Australian golfing community, and we want to ensure that you and your club/venue are well-prepared for the changes ahead.

The transition is set to take place between the evening of Sunday 01 December and Friday 06 December 2024.

Golfer Data A new data point that Golf Australia requires moving to the GolfConnect platform is the golfer’s email address. Golf Australia requires the golfer’s email address to verify their identity on the new digital platforms, and the new GA Official App.

For the avoidance of doubt, the information passed by organisations to Golf Australia cannot and will not be used for marketing purposes, unless Golf Australia has obtained permission directly from the golfer.

Members are requested to make sure that the club has your current email address for this purpose. You can check by updating your details on the MiClub home page after you log on.

Treasurer Vacancy

Unfortunately, our Joel Young has had to resign his post as the Club’s Treasurer.  I thank Joel for having volunteered to take on this role even though circumstances didn’t work out on this occasion.

Accordingly, the Board is now seeking Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified and or experienced members who may be willing to join our Board and take on the role of Treasurer.  The Club’s Treasurer is responsible for managing the Club’s finances, providing monthly financial reports, liaising with and providing support to our office administrative team and shop volunteers as appropriate.  As a member of the Board the Treasurer is expected to attend monthly Board meetings and contribute at these meetings.

A knowledge of MYOB finance and accounting software would be an advantage.

Should a member be interested in this challenging but rewarding role please contact Linda or Marie in the office in the first instance.

16^th Retaining Wall 

A contractor has been engaged for the construction of the 16^th retaining wall.  The actual timing of when these works might commence has not yet been determined but hopefully the final pore work approvals will be finalized soon so works can commence.  The approved DA includes the raising of the eastern end of the bridge, a cart path up to the 17^th tee and the dredging of the 16^th and 17^th dams.  The works also included the removal of the garden around the 17^th tee and construction of a low retaining wall so that this tee will be modified to two tiers with a forward section.  Nick and crew have commenced work to remove the garden and will proceed with building the retaining wall so that it is ready to receive the silt from the dams when dredging commences.

The initial work will be installation of screw pier and trench foundations, along with construction of the cart path.  This work once commenced should happen all mid week and we are hopeful that the green will be in use over the weekend following commencement of work.  Once the footings are done the concrete will be left to cure and the wall work won’t start until some weeks later.  We may need a temporary 16^th green and forward 17^th tee during the works but hopefully the disruption will be limited.

6^th Bridge

We have now cleared the hurdles for works approval requirements and it is now just a matter of availability of the contractor to rectify the washed out bridge.  The staged development application that is being prepared for the entirety of the Club’s property includes a replacement higher level bridge, so the existing bridge will simply be reinstated as a temporary solution.  Hopefully the contractor will be available sometime soon, with reinstatement works completed in a day.
