Greens renovations

The greens will be renovated on Monday. This is a light reno and the greens should be back in good condition within a couple of weeks. You may also notice a few white markers on the edge of the gravel paths around the course. The local rule will be changed to allow players to take a free drop from paths marked with the white markers. I have put these out on around 70% on the paths and also need to do some of the main access roads. Once complete a suitably worded new local rule will be put in place. This should provide some clarity on which areas players are permitted to take free relief.

As always we are looking for volunteers to help out on the course. There is a group on Tuesday and Thursday that are doing some valuable work around the course. It would be appreciated if you or someone you know could spare a few hours on one of these days to help out. It would be also good if we could find someone to help raking the bunkers on Monday or Tuesday each week. I raked the bunkers on a Tuesday a couple of weeks ago and it made a real difference to the playability of the bunkers. I did get a small blister on my hand, but that has cleared up now. It will only take around 2.5 to 3 hours to rake the bunkers. If you can help either contact the office or drop down to the shed and speak to Cam directly. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
