Another big effort today to clean up the giant gum tree at the front entrance of the club.

It has been dropping limbs and branches for a couple of years. Each time you arrived you never knew if you’d be able to get in the driveway. It looks so much tidier now.

I had somebody say to me “thank god, Wardy and Luke Hawking”.

Amazing effort today lads.
Your hard work has not gone unnoticed! ❤️

🌲 𝐑𝐈𝐏 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐄 - 𝟏𝟎𝐓𝐇 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐄 🌲

Well… it’s gone. 😢

For years, that big pine tree at the top of the 10th hole has been a landmark, a hazard, a nemesis, and honestly… a bit of a menace! 😄

How many of us have:
🏌️ Hit a shot straight into it
😤 Watched our ball disappear in or around those pine needles never to be seen again
🍂 Cursed those pine needles all over the scrape for a bad putt
😂 Blamed it for at least one ruined scorecard

That tree has probably cost our members more shots than we’d like to admit! 🙈

But now it’s gone… and we’re not sure how to feel about it!

Are you:
A) Absolutely devastated - it was part of the character of the course! 😢
B) Secretly relieved - goodbye you needle-dropping menace! 😅
C) A little bit of both! 🤣

How many shots did that tree cost YOU over the years? 👇

On a serious note: Well done and a big thanks to Wardy and the parks committee on getting this one removed for us. It’s quick deterioration over the last 12 months had become quite concerning from a safety stand point. A good one to see gone.

🏌️‍♂️ 𝐀 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 🏌️‍♀️
𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬?
We've been thrilled to see so many new faces, young & old, on the course lately - welcome to our golf family! 🎉
For those who might be new to sandscrape golf, here's a quick refresher that'll help keep our course in top condition for everyone:
🔸 Mark your ball with a 'V' before you rake so you know where to putt from after you scrape
🔸 Pull out the flag & rake (spiky side of rake down) away from the hole (please not over the top of the cup as this may lift or pull the cup up) out to your ball mark (the 'V')
🔸 Turn the rake over to the flat side and run the rake towards and over the hole to create a flat putting surface
🔸 Putt as normal, then pull the cup out and empty the sand that has gone into the cup back onto the scrape
🔸 Place the flag back in and rake around the hole in 3 circles (leave a few inches or a rake width flat around the flag to ensure no lip is left next to the cup)

Remember, we're all here to enjoy this beautiful game together!
Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting your golf journey, taking care of our course means everyone gets to play their best round.
Have questions? Don't hesitate to ask our friendly volunteers or local players - we're always happy to help!

Thank you to the Inverleigh Golf Club for this helpful video.
