First, I do hope you and your families are safe after what has been a tragic and devastating few days for South East Queensland. I am aware that several members homes have been impacted by the floods and our thoughts and prayers are with you in this challenging time.
Sadly, the golf course has also been a victim and as the flood waters recede the scale of the damage is becoming apparent. I am reticent to go into the details or provide any timelines, but I can advise that there will be a need for a significant level of reinstatement, which will create course access restrictions.
This is not the first time the club has been challenged by mother nature but in many ways the damage that has been inflicted this time is unprecedented. The team are presently scoping a recovery plan & over the next few days the focus will be attending to the twelve (12) greens that were fully submerged.
I have included some footage of the flood waters over the weekend & some photos of the 8th green and 11th tee block this morning. These images somewhat show the magnitude of the inundation & brutal consequences.
In addition, the Club’s planned “open house” of the new Maintenance Shed has been postponed and a rescheduled date will be communicated in time.
Needless to say, the facility remains closed, with a more comprehensive update to be provided on Thursday.
Rod Rhodes,
Club President
