The course is nine greens but 18 tees . Grass on both golf course and bowls green is a mix of browntop bentgrass and creeping red fescue , with a bit of errant poa annua here and there . Red Fescue and Browntop cope with our winters pretty well. We get 12- 13 seconds at the start of the season and up to 15 seconds by Christmas/New Year . Any faster is pretty hard to achieve. We've lost a lot of members to new clubs in the past 15 years and can no longer field a golf Pennant team despite a ton of flags up until 2005 . Really sad . Lucky to get 10 players on Sundays for a comp now and I haven't dragged the clubs out since about this time last year . Bowls is a bit different . Pennant is mixed four rink teams now in Div 3 and the club has done pretty well . Won the State Div 3 title three seasons ago . I've not played yet this year but will soon once I clear a few things out of the way. Plenty of players this year so no pressure to play . We bought an electric mower to replace the old girl that cut the green for a bloody long time (also electric) a couple of years ago. Scarifyer and corer too are shared with the golf club as is the seeder and boom spray . Roller is a standard ride on one with a Honda motor . Fourteen seconds is a beaut speed I reckon . Fair for all . I remember playing on a city green many moons ago in a rep game that looked about 12 before roll up and was actually more than 16 ..Was fun though despite us country bumpkins struggling to manage it . Congrats on having your green used for representative training , that's a real honour . Re volunteers ..Legends ..the backbone of all clubs .. |
