This was our big day of tree felling with our sights set on the gums lining Pierces Fairway. This included the trees that had died during our drought and others along the fenceline. A great effort and the use of log hauling machinery enabled us to process 14 trees with splitting to be done later. A mighty team effort guys. |

Our Scramble Tournament took place on a lovely clear day without the hassle of the Nor'Wester to create its own havoc. 16 teams entered with a good number of golfers from other clubs. The day was deemed to be very successful, a feature once again being the afternoon tea and the great condition of the course. |
