RIDDLE:
I
hope
someone
can
help
me
with
the
answer
to
this
ongoing
mystery...why
is
it
that
users
of
our
course
can
manage
to
carry
their
FULL
bottles
and
cans
of
drink...but
can't
then
manage
to
carry
the
EMPTY
ones
as
far
as
the
next
rubbish
bin????
Please
people,
there
are
ample
bins
around,
make
use
of
them
and
DON'T
LITTER
THE
COURSE
WITH
YOUR
EMPTIES!!
·
SINGLE-TEE
START
PROPOSAL:
The
proposal
for
a
Single
Tee
Start
to
our
Saturday
competitions
was
considered
at
committee
level
after
discussion
at
Match
Committee.
The
outcome
is
that
we
will
be
instigating
a TRIAL
of
the
single
tee
start.
This
trial
will
commence
with
daylight
saving
in
October
and
will
be
watched
to
see
how
it
effects
our
members.
Committee
asks
all
members
to
please
be
tolerant
of
the
trial
and
let's
see
what
it
delivers.
Clearly,
if
effects
are
adverse
to
a
number
of
members,
then
the
trial
will
be
dropped.
·
Course:
Our
course
is
in
fine
shape
for
our
upcoming
Tournament
and
we
are
confident
that
all
members
and
visitors
will
find
it
both
challenging
and
enjoyable.
We
have
just
completed
a
major
clean-out
of
the
pump
channel
from
the
long
waterhole.
The
channel
had
become
infested
with
water
weed
and
was
causing
problems
with
the
pump
pit
silting
up.
The
task
was
large
and
involved
the
hire
of
a
big
excavator
and
also
plenty
of
good
old
manual
labour
by
the
staff.
This
included
a
most
unsavoury
job
of
getting
into
the
pump
pit
and
bucketing
out
tons
of
the
most
evil
smelling
black
mud....very
well
done
to
Darren,
Josh
and
Jason
for
excellent
work.
We
continue
to
work
towards
removal
of
some
more
tired
and
dead
trees
around
the
course.
Our
finances
are
continually
stretched,
but
we'll
plod
on
and
do
what
we
can,
when
we
can.
We
have
purchased
a
replacement
Bunker
Rake,
as
our
old
one
was
beyond
reasonable
help.
We
take
delivery
in
next
week
or
so.
·
RESPECT
FOR
PRIVACY:
Members
are
reminded
that
the
land
adjoining
our
holes
4,
5
and
6
is
PRIVATE
LAND.
As
such,
while
it
is
OK
to
go
over
the
stiles
to
collect
a
ball
you
have
just
hit
down
there,
it
does
not
make
it
OK
for
people
to
wander
about
down
there
and
potentially
leave
gates
in
an
altered
state.
The
owner
has
gates
shut
or
open
to
suit
his
stock
needs
and
they
must
not
be
inferfered
with.
We
enjoy
cordial
relations
with
the
owners
of
this
land
and
we
need
it
to
stay
that
way.
Your
help
is
sought
on
this
matter.

Redevelopment:
The
recent
'Re-launch'
of
the
project,
where
block
sales
were
opened
up
to
the
general
public,
saw
a
gathering
of
some
100+
members
and
guests.
Progress
with
the
provision
of
water
and
sewerage
after
negotiations
between
developers
and
Gippsland
Links,
sees
a
strong
likelihood
of
construction
work
on
the
first
of
the
residential
area
roads
and
infrastructure
likely
to
begin
in
the
near
future.
The
fairway
areas
of
the
new
holes
have
now
been
slashed,
so
members
wishing
to
stroll
out
there
can
walk
the
new
holes
and
see
what
wonderful
contours
they
traverse.
·
Volunteers:
We
still
have
need
for
more
volunteers
to
help
out
with
tasks
around
our
club.
If
you
feel
that
there
is
something
you
might
be
able
to
assist
with,
please
make
contact
with
any
committee
member,
or
contact
Darren
Felmingham,
our
Course
Curator,
you
will
be
made
welcome
and
can
be
trained
in
use
of
equipment
as
necessary,
very
often,
just
using
hand
tools
and
mowers
can
be
of
great
help
to
the
team,
so
please
help
out
if
you
can.
·
FROST
DAMAGE:
Players
are
reminded
that
when
playing
early
on
frosty
mornings,
it
is
very
important
to
take
care
where
you
take
your
buggies,
especially
motorised
type.
The
wheels
will
cause
frost
burn
to
the
grass,
so
we
ask
that
you
keep
clear
of
greens,
surrounds
and
keep
motorised
carts
off
the
fairways
until
frost
lifts.
·
