This is a friendly reminder for all members to ensure you are checking your Competition Prize Accounts over the coming months. 

As per the member's handbook, Prize Credits are valid for a period of 12 months and will automatically expire if not redeemed. It is a member's responsibility to monitor their prize account. The Golf Shop will have a list printed out every month for members to check how much Prize Credit will be purged at the end of the current month.

Prize Credits are able to be used on golf shop merchandise only. Please ask our friendly golf shop staff if you are interested in ordering an item from our suppliers that we may not have in store.

Below are few reminders we'd appreciate all members and their guests adhering to, so please ensure: 

• You Check In at the Golf Shop prior to heading out onto the golf course. 
• Rake Bunkers after use - every time. 
• Fill in your Divots - every time. 
  
• Don't Hit Up of the group in front, regardless of pace of play.
  
• Keep Carts on Paths at the Tee on each hole i.e. do not drive you carts on tee boxes or surrounds.
  
• Refrain from discarding Rubbish and Cigarette Ends on the course. 

Thank you for your assistance, your cooperation is much appreciated and will ensure the best possible golf experience for you and your fellow members! 

Meet Mel, our beloved Coffee Queen, who has been brewing up perfection at Links Hope Island for the past three years. Drawn in by the luxurious, air-conditioned bar and stunning fountain area, Mel loves the club's commitment to elevating the coffee experience-and she's been a key part of that vision ever since.

A typical day for Mel is all about quality control-ensuring every cup meets her high standards-while also connecting with members and guests, learning about their lives, and sharing her knowledge with the next generation of coffee queens (or kings!). Her passion for coffee and people shines through in everything she does, and she takes great joy in seeing familiar faces return daily for their favourite brew.

For Mel, the best part of her role is simple: serving high-quality coffee and watching people come back for more. It's the little moments-like making lifelong friendships with colleagues Morgan and Brandi-that have made her journey at Links so special. Inspired by Barista Champion Matt Perger and managers who lead by example, Mel is always looking to refine her palate and take her coffee expertise to the next level.

Outside of work, Mel enjoys gardening and tackling jigsaw puzzles, and she swears by a flat white and a slice of carrot cake from SOL. Her best advice? "Aim to excel at what you do." If she had a superpower, she'd choose to read people's thoughts-perhaps to know exactly how they like their coffee! A fun fact? She was born in 1993-the same year Links Golf & Wellbeing opened!

On her bucket list? A trip to Japan to see the cherry blossom. But for now, she's right where she wants to be-making exceptional coffee and creating meaningful connections, one cup at a time.

Easter celebrations commence early at Link Golf & Wellbeing this year with the Ladies Easter Rosebowl. Enjoy a fun-filled day with plenty of laughter, great company, entertainment and of course, some fantastic golf. This year the Ladies Easter Rosebowl is a 2 Ball Ambrose Event with a random draw!

The Easter Rosebowl will take place on Wednesday 2 April 2025. 

To register, download and complete the entry form and return by 26 March. 

Prizes will be given to the best dressed "Dynamic Duo", so get your thinking caps on!
