Hi Members,

Spring is finally here and we welcome the warm weather. The maintenance crew have done a fantastic job racing through the fairway renovations and I’m sure you will notice the dramatic difference in the coming weeks.  Since we no longer have divots all over the fairways I would remind everyone to please do there bit to help out by taking extra sand and filling divots during your round. We have once again introduced the daily divot hole where you can find a trailer full of sand to assist green’s staff.

With the warmer months and the end of football seasons comes our busiest 2 months of the year for Corporate and group golf. Tee time availability during these months will be minimal and bookings are essential. Attached in this months newsletter, on the blog, facebook and also noticeboards will be a calendar of events with upcoming group bookings. Please make note of days there is no availability,  wherever possible we have secured tee times for Full members at The Colonial however some days we are fully booked. Again I cannot stress how important booking and cancelling tee times will be. In recent months cancelling and changing tee times has been very hap hazard so please phone or notify golf shops. I ask for all member’s patience and understanding during this extremely busy period, however these groups are necessary so the club can continue operating and improving our course and facilities.

Thank you to all member’s that have renewed early for the 2010/11 membership year. The 2011 fixtures book will be available to be picked up from the golf shop in early October along with new membership cards. Reminder that there will be no extensions or credit on memberships that are not financial by 30^th September so please do not ask the golf shop team for exceptions as refusal may offend. Unfinancial member’s will be unable to play any competition rounds and a member guest fee will be charged. Finally, all our newsletter information is now featured on the blog and also facebook along with other stories and photos, so please jump online and have a look.

Good golfing and hope to see you on the green!

Hi Members,

Welcome Spring!!! Bring on the warm weather and lush fairways. After a very busy month of corporate and tour groups September is a much better month for access. With all of our major honour board events now complete member’s can enjoy some more relaxed golf for the remainder of the year. Keep up that consistent scoring on Saturday’s with only 3 months left to register points in the Order of Merit.

Club Championships wrapped up last weekend and a huge thank you to all who competed. With very large fields this year and fading afternoon light we managed to get everyone around without problems. Congratulations to the following people who are our Club Champions for 2010 – Mens A grade – Grant Lewis  Mens B grade – Ross Blunden  Mens C grade – Ray Weeks   Ladies – Zoie Cooper

Next year we will be playing the championships in earlier tee times to ensure less hold ups and everyone playing in similar conditions.

Robina Woods Course Maintenance – August review

Sep 02

gbeauclerc@playmoregolf.com.auGolf Course Maintenance 2 Comments

Well the last month of winter really didn’t provide much of the cold snap that we were all expecting. To be honest I don’t really think we had a real winter; it certainly was the driest one we’ve had for several years & still no frosts recorded. Officially 83mm of rain was collected of which 68mm fell over two days. We continued during the month with our construction projects with the 18^th tee receiving a new sleeper wall & garden. Still the best finishing hole on any golf course the new look tee area only enhances this fantastic hole.

With spring just around the corner we have started the mechanical practises to encourage new growth coming into spring. All Greens & Tees have been aerated with solid tynes (so as not to disrupt the golfers) & fertilised with liquid fert’s. All fairwayswere also given a liquid feed which resulted in a terrific definition between them & the rough(see attached pictures).

On the greens:

Ø  Two applications of liquid fert

Ø  One application of preventative insecticide (black beetle larvae)

Ø  One application of miticide (couch mite)

Ø  One application of fungicide

Fairway renovations this year will occur from the 13^thof September through to the 24^th.

This year we will be aerating with hollow tynes, applying gypsum to break up the clay particles in the soil &finally fertiliser with a 50% upfront 50%slow release granular fertiliser.

Watch them jump out of the ground!

See you on course.

Your Friendly Course Superintendent.
