2019 - A YEAR IN REVIEW
|
As this is the final edition of NEWS UPDATE CHIP IN for 2019 it is worth reflecting on the year.
|
The events, both positive and negative, of 2019 have been numerous. They included:
|
- a fire in the switchboard which went close to burning down the clubhouse.
- weeks and weeks of wet weather which closed the course and cancelled many competitions.
- construction and stocking of a new pro-shop.
- creation of a mural on front and side walls of the clubhouse which received coverage in Inside Golf magazine and local newspapers.
- creation of new clubhouse gardens and first tee gardens.
- landscaping of the creek banks thanks to Landcare.
- formation of a Marketing, Promotions and Communication Committee.
- appointment of Marty Hunt, Member for Nicklin, as club patron.
- continued improvements to the course by our Greens staff and volunteers. We regularly receive positive feedback from visitors about how much the course has improved.
- signing off on a Vision, Mission and Values statement for the Club - click button below.
Financially, 2019 has been a difficult year for the Club. However, despite the early setbacks, the tough measures put in place have turned the situation around with a positive second half of the year and better prospects for the future of the Club.
|
Finally, a message from NEWS UPDATE joint publishers/editors Rod Booth and Andrew Dick:
|
|
Thank you for your support - we hope you enjoyed reading about what's happening at Cooroy Golf Club. Have a happy Xmas and we look forward to catching up in 2020 if not before.

You are never too young to develop a passion for golf. We offer junior coaching by PGA Professional, Cyril Trist for 10 - 16 year olds every second Wednesday from 3:30 to 4:30. Recognising the need to bring young people into the sport, The Club sponsors these classes so coaching is free for both junior members and non members.

Participants learn the basics and more, and can then try them out on the course with Cyril or family. Cyril says there are several promising juniors in the class of 2019 who regularly play with family and, the competitive spirit is starting to kick in.

Learn, play, compete, enjoy with friends

The coaching program and Family Golf Month aim to promote the social and fun aspects of the sport, inspire a new generation of golfers and, provide a great family experience.

FROM THE SHED
Work has commenced on changing the 17th hole over to a hybrid couch called Wintergreen. This grass type is more drought tolerant and we are able to keep out all weeds so we have one grass type. The hole will play as a par 3 for about six to eight weeks which will cause inconvenience but the end result will be a much better playing surface.
|
During the Spring months we undertake a Greens and Tees renovation program so that we can have the course in the best playing condition leading into the Summer months. We scarify tees to remove thatch and aerate the surface. Thatch build up occurs through the normal process of regular mowing and leaf removal. Thatch removal allows water and fertilisers to penetrate the soil and plant to improve soil condition and increase plant health. After the scarifying process we feed the plant with liquid fertiliser and apply slow release fertiliser to assist with soil nutrition.
|
The process for the Greens is slightly different as we remove small tubular cores of soil and grass. This process is important to relieve compaction and allow fertilisers and water to easily penetrate the soil. With the core holes exposed we are able to add our nutrient amendments and it is these amendments that assist with retaining moisture in the soil. The process of renovation of the greens is about improving the quality of the soil so that the plants root system can be at optimal health. Simply, it’s like feeding the human body with nutrition to ensure good health.
|
The greens are then top dressed to ensure a level playing service. Prior to these procedures we ensure the health of the soil by adding microbe nutrition program to the Greens to ensure fast recovery. The process of renovation can be a stressful time for the the plant but with right preparation beforehand the stress is minimised and the plant recovers more quickly. This renovation process also helps reduce pests and disease.
|
Regular monitoring of the greens throughout the year is imperative so that we can identify any problems and react quickly so that the impact is minimal. Regular application throughout the year of fungicide, insecticide and nutrition keeps the plants at their best.
|
|
Recent coring of greens has seen them recover noticeably quicker than in the past proving the process works. Well done Todd and the boys.
