Update from the Course

The Driving Range has received a much overdue tidy up with the entire maintenance team committed to the task after seeking permission to have the range closed for half a day to carry out the works. Armed with chainsaws, brush cutters, mowers, mulch and herbicide, the team mowed, slashed and cut down everything that was out of place before spraying a blanket of roundup on the surrounding gardens and then heavily mulching the area. Over 70 Murrayas were planted around the new bitumen carpark which now clearly defines the area. New turf was laid around the driving range mats as a result of heavy traffic over the years causing bare sunken areas. Now complete the driving range presents a whole lot neater but unfortunately doesn’t make you hit any straighter!

On course we carried out our monthly foliar fertiliser application on all fairways and green surrounds. The brew contained a nitrogen-based fertiliser for colour and growth (20:0:0) with the addition of a herbicide (Sempra) for the control of Mullumbimby couch. In the past the use of pigments or dyes have been used to enhance the colour of the fairways, but I truly believe the results of our fertiliser programmes are producing a very healthy plant without the need to colour in fairways.

Talking of fairways, I am very happy to announce the arrival of our two new fairway mowers to our machinery fleet. We have just taken delivery of two new Toro 5610 fairway units. These machines are diesel over hydraulic replacing our previous hybrid units. What that means in short is these new machines have a diesel engine, and the cutting units are hydraulically driven. Our previous machines had a smaller diesel engine, and the cutting units were battery driven. The biggest advantage of this change in cutting unit power is not only the better quality of cut on the fairways but also the ability to be able to use these mowers for scarifying green surrounds during our annual renovations. And as you all know, the more thatch we can remove from the green surrounds the better the quality of turf in these areas.

See you on course,
Glenn Beauclerc.
Your Friendly Course Superintendent.

Super Senior Pennant Call Up

Invitations are now open for all interested Super Senior players, 60 years and over, to nominate for the upcoming Super Senior Pennant competition. With 12 teams from the Gold Coast competing in two groups of six, it should be a great series.

Five matches are played on consecutive Mondays beginning Monday 18th August, finishing Monday 15 September. Semifinals (22nd September) and the final (29th September) will follow the round robin series. 

A team of 8 players compete in Matchplay off the GA Handicap, 4 playing singles and 4 playing 4BBB. The maximum number of shots you give/receive is capped at 9, this means we are looking for a wide range of handicap golfers including the 'low markers'.

Players who are over 60 and have played in this years' Senior Pennant series are also eligible to play in the Super Seniors.

We need a squad of about 15 players. If you would like to register, please leave your name, phone number, shirt size and GA handicap with the Golf Shop by Monday 28th July at the latest. 

For any further details, please contact Russell Donald on 0418 235 746.
