Weekly update 01.02

Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers

 

Next Tuesday  3rd February is a Single Stableford sponsored by Fredo’s Meats. There is only one vacancy, if you are looking for a game keep watching the sheet tomorrow, there is usually a couple of dropouts. If you know someone who is on the sheet and not playing, will you remind them to take their name off, allowing the vacancy to be filled. Fredo’s were sponsors for last week, there were only 19 players so it was a ball comp. (Result Sheet attached) Fredo’s will be sponsors this week

What a week it was, Tuesday the Dam at the 4th was overflowing, Tee up through the Green, Bunkers GUR, No Carts allowed. Thursday was Preferred lie through the Green and No Carts allowed. Saturday was Preferred lie through the Green, Carts allowed. I played on Saturday (not very well), I was surprised how the course had recovered in such a short time. I can’t remember going through any areas where it brought up water, the fairways don’t have any run but that is to be expected. I made comment about the job the Greenkeepers do, let me applaud them for the amount of work they performed to get our course in suitable condition. If we don’t have any significant rain between now and Tuesday the course will be in good condition.

I will be issuing Membership Cards on Tuesday, I want to catch as many members as possible.
