Grow In Update

This week has had some welcome rain, some warmer days, though nights have remained cool.  The result of all this is a rise of approximately 3*C in ground temperature in the past three weeks which is now sitting at 14.8*C (Friday 24/10).  

We continue to hope for warmer days and nights, which coupled with the skills of our course staff will promote strong turf growing conditions.  Members are likely to be watching the weather as keenly as our staff. 

Golf Shop Building Works

Golf Shop building works have contnued to progress well.  Prep work has been conducted in areas this week in anticipation of the timber beams being installed, whilst others have neared completion.  A small milestone was also acheived this week with the Golf Shop internals commencing.  

A summary of works completed since the last update is below:

Internal Work

The Golf Shop internal work is well underway with the commencement of the bulkhead installation and the enclosure of the new storage area at the southern end of the shop complete.

Timber Battens

Installation of the timber battens along the cart staging area was completed.  These are now ready for painting and will match the main building colour.

Southern Facing Wall and Sliding Gate

The construction of the timber wall was completed this week in anticipation of the gate being installed in the near future.  The completion of this area will drastically enhance the view from the 1st fairway and approach up the new 10th hole.  This area will also be painted the same colour as the rest of the Golf Shop.

Painting

Painting of the main Golf Shop building has commenced and will eventually include all of the timber work around the building.  

New Covered Area

Further to the concreted area that will enhance flow for golfers entering the Club, plans are in place to add additional covered area in front of the Golf Shop.
