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

This week has been another 4-day working week, also impacted by some significant rainfall on Wednesday. For the remainder of the week the team focused on general course maintenance with preventative spraying also undertaken. While several bunkers will be staked for the weekend, the course is fully mown and ready for play. Encouragingly, the first mow of greens on holes 1-18 was completed following the oversow, this will see an improved putting experience for all members. The greens on holes 19-27 will remain unmown to ensure the germination of the Poa Trivialis is established prior to the first mow. Holes 19-27 were oversown a few days after holes 1-18 and have shown their first stages of initial Poa growth, it is anticipated that growth will continue over the weekend and will be mown early next week.
The oversow coupled with the recent rainfall will increase the likelihood of the emergence of pitch marks on the putting surface. It would be appreciated if you could repair your pitch marks, and possibly one or two more if you get a chance.
Good Golfing.
