President Lisa Anderson provides this week's report and after hearing an interview by Pat Cummins on the benefits of club sport and the need to embrace failure, Lisa suggests we may like to think about how we can apply this in our sport, in order to improve our game.

Despite the summer months behind us, it’s excellent to see such strong numbers on our social and competition timesheets. Given this demand, the Golf Shop team have put together a video about the importance of checking in 20 minutes early! Click on the link below to view.

Course Report

Josh provides this week's report on a busy week with preparation for path works which commence Monday morning and asks us to observe the ropes and signs in place. Josh notes the greens are flourishing after coring, and whilst the tree works have been completed, there are still some stumps to be ground out.

55+ Competition

23 Players including 5 women played in magnificent weather on Monday. Putting was a little difficult early which meant lower winning scores. 

Margaret Walsh, the one with the most smiles in the clubhouse was the winner from David Graham. 

NTP on the 6th was Richard White, a driver to 3m and on the 9th Ken Dickinson who just edged out David Behan. Our raffle winner was John Enderby. 

May 6th is our next event, all welcome to a competition off the yellow tees.

Member Behaviour on Course - Neighbours

Unfortunately, two incidents have been reported to management from neighbours. The first was a male golfer seen urinating on the course, this was seen by the neighbour from her house. Members are reminded that such behaviour cannot be tolerated, and it is noted that golfers can reach a toilet on the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 9th, 14th and 17th holes.

The second was a neighbour who overheard kids on the walking track giving a Members group some verbal abuse. Whilst acknowledging that Members should not need to put up with such verbal abuse, the response from the Member group was just as abusive and heard by the neighbour. In their words, unfortunately teenagers think that getting adults upset is a fun thing to do, but we would expect much better behaviour from adults.

Box Hill Golf Club Wine 

By popular demand, our special release Box Hill wine is now available so you can re-stock your cellar with top-quality wine at half the retail price. 

Sale of the wine helps raise funds for the Box Hill Pro-Am, which has done so much to improve our course with new pathways and re-building of a number of tees.

There are two varieties this year - the popular Luna Shiraz 2022 vintage from Chalk Hill winery in McLaren Vale, plus a refreshing Pinot Grigio from the award-winning De Bortoli winery. 

Both wines are excellent value at just $140 per dozen, which is approximately half what you will pay from major retailers.

Guest Access - reminder

Based on current course utilisation, the following guest guidelines have been adopted.

- A guest may play a maximum of 6 times per year. For clarification, a guest cannot play with a member 4 times per year, another member 3 times etc, as this would exceed the maximum 6 times per year.

A Member may bring one guest during competition times on the following basis:

- A booking can only be made 72 hours from day of play to ensure all eligible Members have had the chance to make a booking.

- The guest must have a valid golf link number.

- The guest may play in the competition of the day, however, is not eligible for major events.

- The appropriate Members guest green fee and any applicable competition fee must be paid before hitting off.

- It is the Members responsibility to ensure that the guest is dressed appropriately for the golf course.
