General Managers Message
From Allan Botha – General Manager
Dear Members,
What unbelievable weather we’ve been enjoying lately! While there’s definitely a cooler edge creeping in, it’s been wonderfully dry again. That certainly makes a difference—not only for those of you out on the course enjoying your golf, but also for the continued progress on our new car park development.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to join the Vets this past Wednesday due to unforeseen circumstances. I’m hoping to be back out there with the group next Wednesday and look forward to catching up with everyone then.
I’d also like to take a moment to give a very special shout-out to Swampy. His ongoing efforts around the course have been nothing short of outstanding. From day-to-day support to organising volunteers for the concrete path extension on the 5th hole and assisting with the retaining wall work—his contribution has been immense. Thanks, Swampy—you are absolutely amazing and greatly appreciated by us all.
On the infrastructure front, here’s a quick update regarding our temporary office and facilities. From next week, the temporary office will be relocated slightly closer to the new clubhouse building. This adjustment will allow us to create space for ongoing landscaping work, including the completion of a concrete pad in front of the new cart shed.
Additionally, the temporary toilets currently in place will be removed to allow car park works to progress. New portable toilets will be positioned near the 10th tee, outside the construction fence. This will provide a more convenient location, especially as you enter and exit the course, and they’ll also be slightly closer to the marquee—which is definitely a bonus. These temporary arrangements will remain in place until we officially move into our new clubhouse.
Finally, please join us next Friday, 19 June at 3:00pm in the “Plastic Palace” as we celebrate and thank two true stalwarts of the club—Colin and KD. This will be a fantastic opportunity to recognise and appreciate their tremendous contributions over the years. I encourage as many of you as possible to come along and be part of the celebration.
Thank you all for your continued support and patience during this exciting period of development.
New Club house - Something to Get Excited About
There’s some fantastic progress happening on site! The acoustic ceiling tiles look absolutely wonderful. Walking through the space, the difference in sound is already noticeable—the acoustics are impressive even without the carpets or furniture in place yet.
The back of the café is really coming together and looks amazing with the chosen tiles, creating a warm and inviting feel. Meanwhile, the back of the bar is shaping up beautifully, with the striking black vertical flowing lines adding a modern and stylish touch.
It’s all starting to come together, and we’re getting closer to seeing the full vision come to life!
