You may have noticed the browning off on tees and tee surrounds over the past few weeks........Well I hope you have! We are currently 4 weeks into a herbicide programme targeting Blue couch, Summer grass, Crows foot and Kikuyu on all tees and surrounds. This is a post emergent programme which has been carried out every Wednesday for the past 4 weeks trying to clean up these areas visible from the tee.

Week 1 saw an application of Metric which is registered for the control of adult Crows foot and Summer grass.

Week 2, 3 and 4 we applied Tribute every 7 days to control Crows foot, Paspalum, Blue couch and Kikuyu.

The results have been very successful with full desecration of weeds in the targeted areas. Unfortunately, there was a lot of Blue couch, particularly in the ladies tees which has succumbed to the spray programme. We will encourage the Green couch to grow out these areas with a Verti drain, top dress and granular fertiliser. We will continue with this programme over the next few weeks changing up the herbicides and modes of action.

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

• Keep Carts on Paths at the Tee on each hole i.e. do not drive you carts on tee boxes or surrounds.

Links Golf & Wellbeing faced off against the current champions, Emerald Lakes, at Mt Tamborine on Sunday, February 16th. With all Emerald Lakes players on plus handicaps, it was always going to be a challenging match for our team.

A special congratulations to Jayden Situ, who claimed a fantastic 2/1 victory in his match at number 1. It was also great to see Roger Worms battle it out to the 18th hole, where he narrowly lost 1 down to the Emerald Lakes Club Champion.

Rayne Soderlund played impressively against his much older, big-hitting opponent. Despite some outstanding chipping from his competitor, Rayne fought hard but ultimately came up short.

Next week, the team will take on Southport and Royal Pines at 11:30 am. We wish all the players the best of luck in their upcoming match!

Latest Summer Chook Run Results

The wet weather earlier in the day dampened last Friday's Chook Run competition but thank you to all who still came out to play our penultimate Chook run of the summer series.

Congratulations to last week's winners. 

Last Monday the Queensland Golf Association hosted the QSOOM Event at Links Golf & Wellbeing. It attracted a field of over 100 players with some Links members featuring in the prizes. The course was in great condition and presented well with the wind causing it to play very long. Troy Kohn won the overall Stableford event with 38 points which was a great effort in the tough conditions, Mel Whiteley won the ladies section on a countback and Roger Worms was runner up in the men's section on a countback. Feedback from the visitors was very positive. 

Congratulations to these members, well played!!

At Links Golf & Wellbeing, we are fortunate to have a passionate and hardworking team dedicated to keeping our course in top condition. This month, we shine the spotlight on Blair, one of our valued team members who has been part of the Links family for nearly a decade. Celebrating eight years this June, Blair brings an impressive 38 years of experience working on golf courses. His love for the outdoors and the ever-changing challenges of course maintenance make his role at Links Hope Island both fulfilling and exciting. Each day starts early, with tasks ranging from mowing and landscaping to general upkeep, ensuring the course remains in pristine condition. He finds the greatest joy in working outside, appreciating the fresh air, the sense of accomplishment, and the excellent work-life balance. 

As a child, Blair dreamed of being a pilot, park ranger, or photographer. Always eager to expand his knowledge, he hopes to deepen his understanding of different grass types and the best chemicals for various maintenance tasks. Outside of work, Blair is an avid Dragon Boat racer, having competed in five state championships and even reaching the World Cup Championship. Next month, he is heading to New Zealand for the Wellington Dragon Boat Festival. He also keeps bees at home, managing two beehives. His top advice for maintaining a golf course is simple: take your time to do the job right the first time. Inspired by the dedication of his colleagues and the joy of a well-maintained course, he always strives to do his best. His bucket list includes traveling more. The best advice he’s ever received? Take pride in what you do. Next time you see Blair on the course, be sure to say hello!
