From the Course...

I’m very happy to report that this year’s renovations were very successful with no major breakdowns, no complications, great weather and a high morale from the team.

A picture says a thousand words so here's a look at this year's operation.

Greens were scarified at -4mm twice over in two different directions.

2 trailers per green of thatch was removed before being mowed off at 3.5mm.

13mm hollow tines removed cores up to 100mm deep before being picked up with the core harvester.

Two very heavy topdressings of a sand and gypsum blend were applied across the course before being thoroughly rubbed in.

The scarifying of the green surrounds and tee decks was then completed, with the scarifying blades on the fairway unit set to -10mm. Fairways were also scarified at -10mm using the Marido unit.

Finally, all scarifying's were collected using two Rakervacs, ensuring a clean finish across all treated areas.

A big thankyou to the entire maintenance team for their efforts over the renovation week. It was a terrific team effort over the 5 days working up to 14hr days to complete the work. The course will recover quickly and sets up for success over the next 12 months.    

See you on course,

Glenn Beauclerc.
Your Friendly Course Superintendent

Ladies Rookies Wrap Up

The Ladies Rookie Pennant series wrapped up on Monday. The final round was held here at Links with teams from Southport, Sanctuary Cove, Coolangatta Tweed and Tallebudgera competing. Hope Island had the bye, but the ladies came out in force to work as Spotters, Advisors and Match Starter.

It was a close event with the final Team scores finishing with a tie between Hope Island and Coolangatta. A countback system using individual match results meant that Coolangatta were declared the winners.

The series has been a wonderful success with everyone who participated enjoying it immensely. Despite not taking the trophy this year, all players were happy with their achievements and have gained knowledge and experience that will only enhance their golfing success and enjoyment. Congratulations to Sharon Vining, Kathy Forsyth, Anthea Steans, Sally Wilkinson and Trish Arbuckle, the whole club community is very proud of you!

Special mention must also go to the lovely ladies who volunteered their time to help out as Player Advisors throughout the series. Thank you to Jen Stanley, Jean Cox, Anna Van Hoof and Andrea Eacott. We could not have participated in this event without your support.

Also, a special thank you to David and Paul for their continued support for the ladies and the WGGC. Thank you to the food and beverage team who provided their usual wonderful service on Monday. The WGGC representatives and visiting Clubs expressed their appreciation for a wonderful day.
