FROM THE MEN’S CLUB CAPTAIN (MIFF):
EARLY TEE OFF TIME – 3 MONTH TRIAL commencing Saturday 4th June
Over the winter months we will try a tee off time of an hour earlier – cards in by 11am, tee off 11.15am.
CHAMPIONSHIP DRAWS will be up in the locker room this Saturday morning 28th
Check your matches out, be pro-active and get them played as soon as possible, before the real bad weather kicks in.
FROM THE committee table (Thanks Marg):
- There have been a few comments that our greens are getting smaller - the putting surface is the same but the new surrounds mower is a little wider and is doing 2 sweeps of the cutting surface which has slightly increased the surrounds.
- Cart hire - there will no longer be a discount for members hiring carts - the hire cost will be $30 per cart. The carts are getting old and we are looking at replacements but the availability is not good at the moment and we will need to apply for funding. We ask that members respect this decision and only use carts when necessary.
- The Steering committee for the "rebuild" have nothing to report as yet.
- Membership cards will not be printed this year - it was felt that they are no longer needed as everything is now available on the Golf app.
- A big thank you to Central Energy Trust for our grant to enable the 3 heat pumps to be installed.
