The oversow of all 27 holes has been completed this week.
With a 4-day working week, the focus, outside of the oversow has been preparing the course for general play. These works have again included bunker preparation, unfortunately, some heavy showers this afternoon and more rain likely over the weekend will see the playability of the bunkers impacted over the long weekend.
Over the coming weeks members will notice the green surrounds may become a little damp with an increased volume of water required to support the oversow process. Once established the water will be eased off, though the greens will continue to require more water than we would typically give them over the winter period.
Good Golfing.

Course Superintendent

Today saw the culmination of the Ladies Matchplay Championships for 2021.
In the A Grade Final we saw Caitlin Vanderkruck looking to defend her title from 2020 against Chrissy Booth, both Ladies had impressive semi-final victories but after getting off to a rough start Chrissy was unable to peg back the deficit and Caitlin was able to claim back to back wins by securing a 4 & 3 victory.
B Grade had another defending champion making it through to the final with Jackie Dowling taking on Kristy James. In the end we crowned a new champion and Kirsty was able to prevail by the narrowest of margins taking the match 1up.
Lyn Howarth was looking to do the double and take out not only the C Grade Stroke Play but add the Matchplay title to her credit. Lyn was taking on relative newcomer Catrina Daly who had progressed nicely through the draw to reach the final. However in the end Lyn proved too strong taking a solid 5 & 4 victory.
Congratulations to all those who competed and especially the winners.
