and the dam is 40% full.

Greens are very healthy.

Pathways on the 4th and 5th have held up very well after the heavy rains.

Tees and Surrounds; The back plates on par 3s are chopped up a bit from 4 consecutive

weeks of use.

Fairways: Wintergrass is germinating which brings out the broadleaf weeds.

Machinery: All doing well

Mal played golf the following Saturday. My secret

source of information reported that he stepped up to

the tee on the 13th with his 5 iron and said,

‘Come on old faithful’

Bang

Straight into the dam.

Then Mal went on holiday.

Attila’s playing partners weren’t looking and didn’t

believe him when he told them what they had

missed seeing his hole in one.
