From the President – March Update 2024

Dear Members,

The 2024 Golfing Season is underway.  On Sunday 17th March 2024 we held the Club Opening Day, a Mixed Canadian event with approx 120 players followed by a dinner, the day coincided with St Patrick’s Day which created additional fun and produced some “fascinating costumes”.

At the evening dinner, I provided an update on several key happenings around the Club.  Below I have summarised these for those who weren’t in attendance.

Since the changes to the Constitution last year, we now have a Board of Directors in place.  Each of us have our Roles and Responsibilities developed and will soon be added to the updated Club By-Laws.  Supporting these Directors are a number of Sub Committees which are also up and running.  Thanks to all who have volunteered into these Committees.

We have reached an agreement with Mandurah City Council on our lease which is now for 30 years.  An amazing position for us to be in.  A comprehensive Tree Management Plan is part of the new lease which we fully support.  We are currently getting one last legal review from our position before it will be finalised over the next two months.

The balcony installation is underway which will be a great addition to what we already have in an impressive Club House.  It is anticipated that I will be finished around mid year.  Your patience and cooperation while the construction is happening is appreciated.

You are aware that we will be hosting the WA Open in October 2024.  Meetings are occurring with Golf WA which will define the level of involvement from our Club.  We will definitely be looking for volunteers prior to and during the event and I’m sure many of you will step up to assist.  Once we know what is expected we will send out further details.

Continue to enjoy our fantastic Club and hope you have great results on the Course.

Ron Stone, President
