Melbourne Water Sewer Project- Updated November 20 

Recent update as of November is that the new temp tee has been approved by MW and works will progress on a new temp tee for the 8th. The tee will be across to the North- similar length to now (approx 105 metres) but a much better angle to the green.

Once the base is done- artificial grass mats will be installed with an access path to the bridge and a tidy  up of the area to complete the job. All at Melbourne Waters costs. The other temp tee will likely not be used once completed.

The Board has commenced discussions with Melbourne Water as to how the next 24 months will look like in regards to support for the club. The Board will utilize external assistance if required to ensure the club has the best outcome possible due to the impact to the club.

General Course Behaviour

We have had some feedback from members in relation to a number of issues around the Club and would like to draw your attention to the following:-

Xin chào tất cả

Chúng tôi đã nhận được một số phản hồi từ các thành viên liên quan đến một số vấn đề xung quanh Câu lạc bộ và muốn lưu ý các bạn đến những vấn đề sau:-

Bunkers

Our course staff have increased their attention to the presentation of bunkers and we are all benefitting from this however this all comes undone if members are not raking bunkers properly during play so here are some tips on this topic.

    • When playing from a bunker always enter and exit from the low point avoiding walking on the face of the bunker.
    • On completion of play make sure you take care of and maintain all disturbed areas.
    • Make sure the playing surface sand is left as smooth and even as possible.
    • Always use the rake, not your foot or a golf club.
    • On completion of raking place the rake in the centre of the bunker pointing to the flag.

Hố cát

Nhân viên sân gôn  của chúng tôi đã chú ý nhiều hơn đến cách trình bày các hố cát và tất cả chúng ta đều được hưởng lợi từ điều này, tuy nhiên, tất cả sẽ trở nên vô ích nếu các thành viên không cào hố cát đúng cách trong khi chơi, vì vậy, đây là một số mẹo về chủ đề này.

Khi chơi từ hố cát, hãy luôn vào và ra khỏi điểm thấp, tránh đi trên mặt hố cát.
Khi hoàn thành lượt chơi, hãy đảm bảo bạn chăm sóc và bảo dưỡng tất cả các khu vực bị xáo trộn.
Đảm bảo cát trên bề mặt chơi được để mịn và đều nhất có thể.
Luôn sử dụng cào, không sử dụng chân hoặc gậy đánh gôn.
Sau khi hoàn thành việc cào, hãy đặt cào vào giữa hố cát hướng về phía lá cờ.

Sprinkler Heads

Members using carts please avoid driving the wheels over sprinkler heads.  This is causing the sprinkler heads to either fail or is reducing their life expectancy.  The heads are expensive to replace and damage can cause water leaks reducing our precious water supply.

Đầu phun nước

Các thành viên sử dụng xe đẩy vui lòng tránh lái bánh xe qua đầu phun nước. Điều này khiến đầu phun nước bị hỏng hoặc làm giảm tuổi thọ của chúng. Đầu phun nước rất tốn kém để thay thế và hư hỏng có thể gây rò rỉ nước, làm giảm nguồn cung cấp nước quý giá của chúng ta.

Short Cuts

When moving from the 13th green to the 14th tee please do not walk across the 16th tee.  Please use the path behind the 16th tee.  Generally when navigating the course players should avoid walking with their buggies across tees and greens.

Đường tắt

Khi di chuyển từ green thứ 13 đến tee thứ 14, vui lòng không đi bộ qua tee thứ 16. Vui lòng sử dụng đường đi phía sau tee thứ 16. Nhìn chung, khi di chuyển trên sân, người chơi nên tránh đi bộ với xe đẩy của mình qua tee và green.
