Course News 

The course and maintenance team have been busy preparing the course for the upcoming Club Championships and Keperra Bowl.  

A few smaller projects have been completed including laying turf on the left-hand side of the 7th fairway and fairway bunker, along with the recently used 5B temporary Tee block.  This area will remain compulsory GUR until the suitable grow-in process has been completed.  Both 7 and 5A temporary greens have been left to grow out back to fairway height and this process has now been completed and are to be considered in play.  We simply ask Members treat them as normal and repair their divots.  

For all those Members participating in the Club Championships, we hope you enjoy what the course has to offer and wish you all the best of luck.

Women's Golf Update

Our first Women’s Honour Board event for the year, the Captain’s 4BBB Stroke (17 February), saw Donna Dodson and Mandy Stephens claim victory with an outstanding 60 nett. Runners-up were Ann-Maree Ree and Karen Cannon with 61 nett — fabulous scoring by all.

On Tuesday March 3rd, the semi finals of the Women's Captain 4BBB Matchplay were contested, with Chrissy Booth & Michelle Casey going down to Susan Mortimer & Kim Williams (3&2). In the other Match Sue Truckey & Jackie Arnott were defeated by Carrie Barham & Rhonda Salmond (on the 20th Hole).  Good luck to both pairs in next week's final. 

The Women’s Club Championships commence on Saturday 7 March. Wishing all competitors the very best.

Our first Open Day for 2026 will be held on Tuesday 17 March. With over 70 entries already received, it promises to be a fantastic day. The format is a 4-person Ambrose with a twist, plus great prizes on offer. Thank you to Whitehead & Crump of Harcourts Solutions for their valued sponsorship of our event.

Congratulations also to our Junior Girls Pennants Team, who secured 4 points at Pacific on 15 February. The next round is on March 8th— good luck and enjoy the experience.

Women's President

BLDGA Junior Pennants Update

After a fun junior girls development series of clinics in Autumn last year, BDLGA has re-established a junior girls pennants series for 2026.  This first iteration has a modest six teams playing over three rounds February-March.  Notwithstanding, the opportunity to take part has been eagerly taken up by Keperra, Pacific, Wynnum-Virginia (teaming up), Meadowbrook, Royal Queensland, and a non-affiliated final team calling themselves the All Stars.

Keperra’s girls are school friends and club junior members Ella Gould, Bee Han, and Wilhelmina (Willa) Keyner.  They are at Keperra every week with Tony Robertson in their Kelvin Grove State College golf strip, and now get the opportunity to represent the Club externally.

Round 1 was played at Pacific on Sunday 15 February.  The girls played three-way ‘all versus all’ matchplay; each going up against a Meadowbrook and a Pacific player in their flight.  Ella played off-the-stick and went down 3&2 and 1 Down in her matches.  Bee and Willa played in handicaps-based matches: Bee with an excellent 5&4 win against her Meadowbrook opponent and squaring against the Pacific girl; Willa squaring against Meadowbrook and going down 3&2 against the Pacific girl.  Importantly, they each had good spirits and fought hard.

Next round is this Sunday hosted at RQ, and then the final round is 15 March at McLeod.

Thanks to our Women's Captain Julie Lakotij for coordination and support, and Jacque Giles of BDLGA for leading this reinvigoration of junior girls pennants.

Returning Sand Buckets

Members are kindly reminded to return their sand buckets to the designated holders following their round. Recently, a number of sand buckets have been found in the car park, where they have unfortunately been damaged by vehicles. Your assistance in returning them to the designated areas is greatly appreciated and helps us maintain the course facilities for everyone’s benefit and avoid an unnecessary added cost to the Club.

opening of Holes 7 & 8

After enduring several floods, a cyclone, multiple delays and restarts — and a lengthy rebuild overall — the Club was proud to officially open the 7th and 8th holes to the Membership on 14 February.

The occasion was marked the day before with a special celebratory opening. Club Captain Greg Marshall was joined by Club Member and two-time PGA TOUR winner John Senden, who hit a ceremonial shot into the greens. Earlier in the day, the Greens team completed the final preparations before cutting the very first holes on the newly finished surfaces.

The Club sincerely thanks its Membership for their ongoing support and patience throughout this significant project. The Club also gratefully acknowledges the funding assistance provided by the Gambling Community Benefit Fund and the Queensland Government’s Community Recreational Assets Recovery and Resilience Program, whose support was instrumental in bringing the project to completion.

Special mention to Women’s Pennant Captain Mel Robertson who marked the occasion on Feb 14th by having birdies on both holes during her round.
