Wow what a week, the sun has come out with a little warmth in it, players have a smile on their faces, and we are able to see some action on the fairways.
For those using carts the news is better still as you are allowed back on the rough down the sides of fairways, please refrain from going on the surrounds of the scrapes.
The improved weather has allowed our volunteers to do some mowing and other course maintenance which the members are very grateful for.
The weather is hopefully going to stay on the improve for our Ambrose day to be held on Sunday July 30th, this is a four-person event, any combination, 11.30 for 12.00pm hit off.
Visitors are very welcome; afternoon tea will be provided.
