Preparation for Captain's Drive-In

Wow! What a week we've had out on the course. The weather has been great the last 2-3 days, enabling greens' staff and volunteers the opportunity to prepare the course for Captain, Jeff Perkin's big day.

On Monday, Tom and I were not overly optimistic that the course would dry out for the weekend. However, Ryan and I decided to bite the bullet on Tuesday afternoon and start mowing. Luckily, by 4:30pm Friday, we were able to reflect on 3 days of continuous hard work.

We hope that the members can see the transformation in course presentation and we would like to think we can keep the course, weather permitting, in similar shape throughout the year.

Tees, surrounds, fairways and rough have all been cut. The greens are starting to look and putt better too. Additionally, the bunkers now look great! Well done to Phil Lockett (again!!) and also to Nick Fletcher for getting them finished off. Awesome stuff!!

Ryan and I have been buoyed by the fantastic assistance from some of our members in preparing the course this week. Our thanks go to Tom Frame, Len Dilnutt, Dave Asprey, Barry Barlow, Mike Hall, Jeff Perkin, Phil Lockett & Nick Fletcher. Brilliant work guys!! 

Finally, all that is left to say is that we hope, Mr Captain, you have a great day on Saturday and enjoy your year in office!
