Some idiot sent the rain too far south. We don’t need it here.
People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
No championships worth mentioning in recent years.
Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.We’ve had quite enough here in Wollongong too.
* 2019 ISG Nats Barwon Heads winner
* Proud member of the Wollongong Swimming Club.Home course has been closed since 7th Feb due to being flooded and will not reopen for at least another fortnight due to safety aspects with some trees, rebuilding of quite a few bunkers, clearance of HEAPS of flood debris from the fairways and a few other minor distractions. Still, as much as it is a set back, we needed rain and got it in abundance in most areas. Seems those that needed it most are currently getting some good falls as well. .
So this is a change …… Our towns dam on Friday……. Gone from 16% 2 weeks ago to full…..
Might be allowed to use a hose for the 1st time in 2 1/2 years….
Town has recorded 344mm’s of rain this year
Airport which is 10kms from town 416mm’s
Everything is green
Golf course is turning green however grass is at present very clumpy but it is spreading…. been mown high to encourage the spread factor….. make playing interesting but it is the same for one and all….
Parts of the course are still covered in silt from the don pours and creek breaking its banks, a few bunkers need to have some sand put back in them but considering the way the place looked a couple of months ago it is really a case of chalk and cheese..local farmers have grass/weeds/burs etc growing in abundance and have been able to stop feeding whatever stock they have left after the drought, maybe that is a brave call….. Yes it is green, dams are full and looks good at present but as to what the water table actually is, that is another question altogether….. hopefully it is not turning into a green drought …
But for the time being it does look good

There is a rumour going around that for the 1st time in getting onto to 3 years the gang mowers were used to mow the fairways….
Will take some pics today…… hopefully my swing is not self isolating like it has beenThis is the 5th/14th fairway December last year…… Chalk
This is the same fairway yesterday …… and cheese
and yes gang mowers had been used
And sadly swing is still self farking isolating….. grrrrrr
At least you can still go out and have a swing.
Perhaps I should take a golf club to the supermarket to help with social distancing?
