Predator Free Update
|
The kill count for September was 2 stoats, 2 rats and 5 mice. One of the stoats was caught in a "first-timer" - the trap assigned to Robyn Orton along the right hand side of the 5th fairway behind one of the pine trees. Arthur Ormond snares two more mice and puts daylight between him and the next contender. One trap, which hasn't yet yielded any kills, found itself visited by dead possums lying outside its narrow entrance. Was this their last dying act trying to find shelter? Were they placed there in the forlorn hope a kill would be registered? We may never know the answer to this baffling mystery.

Golf Updates
|
Octaginarians are grinners AND winners A big congratulations to George Mitchell (Men's Junior B Champion) and Jennifer Hartley (Women's Junior Champion) who, at the ripe age of 80ish took out their respective division in club champs! This just proves that age is no barrier. There will be a couple of trophies display at Mary Doyle no doubt. Well done to you both. Short Course Just a reminder about etiquette on the short course. If you are chipping or pitching around the course (maximum of 4 balls) PLEASE give way to players who are actually playing the course. Many times members take their kids or grandkids out there and the last thing we want is a little trekker to cop a stray shot. Also, it is important to remember that any under 16yo can come and play the course when accompanied by a member at no charge. Get the little ones out for a nudge and a walk after school. Driving Range The driving range is now open later due to daylight savings. Please do not walk down the driving range to collect balls; again, we do not want anyone to get hit. Trophies If you have a trophy in your possession from last year, could you please return it to the office so we can get it engraved for the winner this year. It would be a great help if the trophy was clean and in a presentable state when returned. |
