Friday 17th May.

This week was a much better week, weather wise leading into this weekends 2nd and 3rd rounds of the Club Championships.

Putting surfaces have quickened somewhat with the fine weather over the past few days apart from light falls late yesterday, but this only amounted to 2mm of rain.

Green speed has quickened from 10'2" early last week to 11'5" this morning and with only a small amount of rain forecast over the next couple of days, I am expecting this pace to be maintained over the next couple of days.

Good luck to all with your golf this weekend.

Thursday 9th May 2013

Strong winds and rain yesterday afternoon and overnights have caused some fallen limbs around the course in particular to 2 large Jarrah trees. Most of the other damage is small branches and limbs blowing onto the turf areas.

We have spent the morning blowing this material off the fairways and surrounds to be cleaned up but with the weather forecast rough for the next couple of days I imagine we will need to do this again.

We received 18.5 mm of rain over Tuesday night and another 17.5mm last night. Less than ideal conditions to prepare for the Club Championships on the weekend but we shall prepare the course to the best of our ability.

Tuesday 7th May 2013

It's fair to say I'm a little anxious about what tonights change in weather is going to bring.

All I can see for the next 3 days is wind and rain. A less than ideal preparation for the Club Championships starting on Saturday.

I will keep members posted on the impact on the club and course.
