Course Update and Today’s Play – Tuesday 4 June 2024

Dear Members,

With over 120mm of rain in recent days, flooding has caused damage to many bunkers, whilst the pictures below highlight the tidy-up required from flooding.

Today’s Members Competitions are cancelled in order to undertake repairs, and return areas of damage to competition playing standard.  

Although the course remains open for social play today, we discourage playing, as bunkers will not be playable, and we need to give employees adequate times to clean fairways.

At times of extremes in weather, we ask all members to check the tee sheet the night before your game, as any instructions to the following days play will be highlighted in the Title of the sheet.

We also remind players the importance of course care over these coming months. This amount of rain will soften the course, meaning divots and pitch marks become more prevalent. Whilst driving carts through wet or worn areas can cause considerable damage.

The grass is dormant over these months and any of these issues will not repair properly for many months, hence the importance of caring for the course.  

Regards

Grant Shortland-Jones, General Manager

Course Liquor License

Course Liquor License

Dear Members,

We thank you for your patience with the temporary ceasing of liquor service onto the course.
 
The interpretations required us to change from selling “Take Away” liquor from the licensed premise onto the course, to requiring the course to be fully licensed if we were to allow any consumption of liquor.

The standard Club License stipulates all drinks need to be unsealed to be consumed in a licensed area, however our Board had a submission to the Director General approved, so that Members may take a maximum of four drinks onto the course sealed, to be opened at your own discretion.  These drinks however, must be consumed responsibly, by members of legal age.
 
With the course now treated as a licensed area of the MCC, liquor will now resume being sold from the clubhouse to be consumed on course.  However, there must be no BYO of liquor anywhere on the MCC’s premises including the course. This has always been the case, but we now must ensure this is strictly adhered to as an RGL obligation of continuing to allow liquor to be consumed on course.   
 
Drink prices remain at very good value for members and as an example, a beer is just $5 on course and therefore, we hope members continue to see value in your Club.

Regards
Grant Shortland- Jones
