We are all aware of the problems we have had with water supply for course irrigation. Although our efforts have “saved” the course and kept us playing it has caused some issues. This is no more evident than on the 5 th green where poor drainage (a long-term issue) and water quality have led to a deterioration of sections of the surface. We have developed a plan which will improve the drainage of excess water from the surface, improve the efficiency of the irrigation, increase the green area of the upper tier and repair the damaged turf. To facilitate this plan there will be a period where only the lower section of the green will be in play and there will be a large GUR area on the upper level with two drop zones. Replacement turf will come from our turf nursery so the new surface will establish quite quickly. Work will start immediately. We trust that you accept that this is essential work and that our short-term pain will definitely lead to long term gain.

Retirement of GolfLink.
​
Sometime soon, GolfLink will cease to exist.
GolfLink is the system, owned by Golf Australia that manages your handicap and Golf Australia (GA) membership. It is where you get you GolfLink number.
It is being replaced by a system called Golf Connect. And the old GolfLink number is being renamed as GolfID. Your number will not change.
It is expected that very little else will change for existing members logging into our Member Portal (e.g.  to make bookings, etc). The Member Portal is under our control and will continue to use the member number (GolfID), as it does now.
 But. if you want to log onto the Golf Australia website or use the Golf Australia app (e.g. to view your handicap details online) you will need a valid email address. The email address, as it has been recorded by the club, will become an important part of the confirmation of identity of a member on GA platforms. When a member initially logs in, an email will be sent to the member’s pre-recorded address to verify that it’s the correct person.
Therefore, in preparation, please ensure your email address is correct. To do this, go to the golf club booking page and click the My Details link at the top of the page.

If your email address is missing or incorrect, please contact Ben at the club or call Michael Clark on 0417 083 126 or email [email protected] to have it updated.
We will post more updates as we get closer to the cutover.

This years presentation dinner will be held on Friday 2nd December. On the presentation night we celebrate the Club Championship winners and new Life Members as well as all the other trophy winners from throughout the season so it would be great to have as many winners as possible at the dinner to collect their prizes. 

The night will start at 6:30 pm for a 7:00 pm dinner at a cost of $30 a head. The presentation night is always a fun evening to celebrate the successes throughout the year, even if those successes are only for fellow members! A progressive list of the current trophy winners can be found on our Yearly Trophies page.

The twilight competition will be starting up from Wednesday 9th November. This is a friendly 9 hole competition with tee off between 4:00pm and 6:00pm, open to members and visitors. EVERYONE welcome.

$5 for Members and $12 for visitors includes 9 holes of golf and entry into the competition, no handicap necessary. The bar will be open afterwards and a BBQ will be available. 

Come out and enjoy the warmer weather and the now dry course!

Qualifying results are now on the website along with the matchplay draw. All results can be found on our Club Championships page.

All qualifiers have also been booked into the online booking system with their applicable tee time. Players are asked to arrive at the tee block at least 15 minutes prior to their tee time.

EDIT 13/11: Updated for semi-final match play results

Saturday the 29th October is our Medal of Medals round. Players qualify for the Medal of Medals by winning a Monthly Medal throughout the year with the winner of the Medal of Medals determined by the best gross stroke from the qualified players during the round with winners across each grade. the 2016 qualifiers can be found via the document below:

​Medal of Medals - 2016 qualifiers

Unfortunately the course received another 15mm overnight (Thursday) to go with the significant rain already received earlier in the week. This has left the already wet course in a near saturated position, forcing the ground staff and grounds committee to make the tough decision to again not allow members to use carts for the Saturday competition (22nd), and first round of Club Championships qualifying.

The majority of members that this affects are D Grade players and as such the match committee has decided that the qualifying for the D Grade club championships will now just be 18 holes, to be held during the second week on Saturday the 29th October. It is hoped that carts will be allowed back onto the course for this week.

For all other grades the club championship qualifying and finals will be held as programmed.

With qualifying for the 2016 Club Championships about to commence the best location to find all the qualifying results and match play draws is over on the Club Championships main page.

All members are reminded that if they wish to be a part of this years Club Championships they must place their name on the registration sheet, available from the bar, prior to the end of the 2nd round of qualifying on October 29th. 

ALL PLAYERS MUST ENSURE THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO PLAY DURING ALL WEEKS OF THE MATCHPLAY FINALS HELD ON THE 5th, 12th & 19th OF NOVEMBER.

The club has organised a working bee on Tuesday 18th October as part of the regular volunteer working group which anyone who has some time is encouraged to attend and help out.

The working bee will commence at 9:00 am running through to 12:30 pm with lunch provided afterwards. The main focus of the working bee will be a general clean up of the course.

If you are unable to attend but interested to try and help out in future volunteer days please email the club at [email protected] and the club will be in touch.
