With some 40mm of rain falling on Wednesday the presentation of the Course for weekend play has been disrupted. While we have been able to mow fairways some areas of the rough have been too wet and will remain unmown over the weekend. To assist players, lift-clean-and-place will form part of the local rules. While efforts were made to prepare the bunkers, it has been decided that all bunkers will be optional GUR.
The irrigation works on the 22nd hole was again interrupted, with the necessary machinery unable to work in the wet and damp conditions. These delays are frustrating to all, and new dates are being arranged with the contractor.
Next week will start with all 27 greens receiving a light dusting over Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday afternoon the Queensland Government will be conducting some aerial Fire Ant mitigation over the course. We are assured that this, non-optional, treatment poses no harm to humans, flora, fauna, and the course as a whole. Members please be advised that there will be a low flying helicopter over the course on Tuesday afternoon, weather permitting.
Good Golfing
