The 7:30 Report: Wednesday 28th December

Following the extreme heat of yesterday, it was a collective sigh of relief for today's stableford competition. Huge thank yous to the following members who were out in the sweltering heat yesterday, preparing the course. Bruce Fraser on the surrounds mower, Ian Flannery on the greens, John 'Shooter' Dawson preparing the fairways, Walrus on the rough cutter, Matt Willis and Nathan Fairley repairing sprinkler issues and Jezza Clare on the brush cutter. The course is in fantastic condition thanks to the efforts of Rob Beatson and our core of volunteer members.
