Gippsland BMW Pro Am

Gippsland BMW Pro Am

Well another Pro Am done & dusted….
Big thank you to all involved in putting on the best event possible.
To our Naming Rights Sponsor, Gippsland BMW, what can we say, this partnership is going from strength to strength and what you provide for all players on the day is phenomenal!

To all our other partnering sponsors, thank you also, without your contribution, the Professionals & amateurs cannot play in such an event.
Members & guests who played, we hope you all had a great day, learned a thing or 2, and can’t wait to get out on the course again with some new found knowledge or tips your professionals gave you.
To my staff, thanks for all your help on the day and leading up to the event. The long days, the crossing of T’s & dotting of I’s, certainly helps see the final outcome come to fruition.  Especially to Lee, who has helped put this event together with me and made it so much easier on the day.
Ground staff – AWESOME!! Course never looked better, never have I had so many positive comments from professionals playing.
Lastly, our member volunteers, days such as this can’t happen without the support and tireless efforts of you all. I can assure you, they don’t go un noticed, and looking back today, so many special little moments were because of you all and what you do for your club!!
Thank you all, here’s to 2021 & beyond!!
Heath

Donation to the Victorian Fire Recovery Effort

Donation to the Victorian Fire Recovery Effort

Thank you to the Lady Golfers who raised and have donated $852 to the fire recovery effort.
The Club donated all the proceeds from last Friday nights raffle and a further $6,000 was raised. The donation jars that have been in the venue bars have raised a further $1,124.
All in all a total of $7,976 has been raised by the generous donations of Club Members. An outstanding effort and one that will greatly support the huge task of helping those who have lost so much in these terrible fires.

More Concrete Pathways

More Concrete Pathways

Works will commence shortly to construct more concrete pathways as part of the Clubs commitment to further improvements on the golf course.
At its January Board meeting the Board formally approved $26,664 to construct concrete pathways from the 14th green to both the men’s and ladies tees on the 15th.  Members will be aware of the priority, particularly in winter to address access pathways around the 14th green and 15th tees.
The Board also approved further funding of $14,472 to extend the existing concrete pathways off the 1st and 10th tees to avoid a repeat of the bog conditions experienced this winter at the point where the existing paths join the fairways.
Course Superintendent Nathan Eager plans to complete the concrete paths in March 2020, well ahead of next winter.  The Board wishes to acknowledge the work done by both Golf Committees in finalising the approvals and ensuring the best outcome is achieved for these important golf course upgrades.
