Oh Bu**er! Another dump of rain and we are back where we were a couple of weeks ago. There is a fair bit of water laying around and the soggy areas are now very boggy areas.

The course is now playable, but there are still a number of very wet patches. If you use a cart, maybe hold off for a bit longer as there are number of places where you might get bogged or just make a mess. Certainly, we don’t want any golf carts on the fairways.

The second and third holes have some very wet sections, as does the 13th. It is also quite soft in front of a number of greens.

It is improving each day, but if you want to play, be careful. Watch your shots carefully to see where they land. If they plug, they can be hard to find.

Weds 12th. The course is still really too wet to play. It looks OK from the car park but large parts of the course - both front and back 9 have water. You will get wet feet!! If we get no more rain, the desparados could maybe give it a go on Friday, but I wouldn’t bother before then. We’ll be lucky to be able to do much mowing and the Greens are a bit rough.

Carts are a definite No No!!

If you’ve got a bunch of YouTube golf videos to catch up on, that would be better than the real thing. At least you won’t lose a ball than has plugged and disappeared in the middle of the fairway.

(As if you’ve ever hit a drive down the middle of a fairway. Dream on.)

Golfers. I wouldn’t plan on having a round at Toongabbie for a couple of days at least. We had a few damp places before the current rain started falling and we’ve had 25mm so far today and it’s still coming down.

There is water lying all over the course.

We’ll give updates and let you know when we’re good to go.

21 June. Golfers, the course had 30 mm rain last night . It is very wet and boggy in places

If you are thinking of having a hit at Toon tomorrow or Thursday, forget it. The course is pretty much under water. We’ve had more then 40mm of rain today and it is still raining

Hey everyone, our volunteers have put in a big week and the grass is back under control!! For that once or twice that you might get a bad bounce and miss the fairway, you should still have a good lie in the rough!!

Golfers. If you’re planning to have a round this long weekend, please be aware that we have had some mowers and volunteers out of action over the last week.

As a result, there is a bit of long grass to negotiate in places. The back 9 is the longest. The front 9 fairways and second cut areas have been done.

The weather has also led to the greens going berserk. Although they were cut on Friday, they are a bit slower than we would like.

It’s still good fun out there, but it might just pay to watch your shots until the ball actually stops.

Saturday Jan17. The course is very wet today. We had 30mm of rain overnight after 12mm yesterday. There are puddles and slush all over the course.

Might be wise to not play today

Happy New Year everyone.

Some of our small band of volunteers have had a little break over the last couple of weeks so there has been some longer grass on some parts of the course. And then we had a pretty amazing downpour last Saturday with more than 50mm of rain falling in less than 2 hours. While the course relished the drink, the grass has taken really taken off.

But despite the heat we’re expecting over the next few days, we will have people doing some mowing and should have everything in good condition very soon.

Some news for the coming week or so. We are about to remodel and resurface the 3rd green with work starting next week. There will be a temporary green in play for quite a while.

Kennards Hire in Morwell have kindly agreed to donate the use of and delivery of an excavator to allow us to get the heavy work done and we are very grateful to them.

And Latrobe City has provided a grant to allow the purchase of the sand and turf for the resurfacing.

For a small club such as ours, such support is extremely important in helping us to maintain and improve the course, which is a valuable community asset.

Our sincere thanks to Latrobe City and Kennards Hire.
