Winner was Ryan Baxter with his fantastic 5 under par 41 points. There was a tie for second and third places with John Wright and Bonsang Koo both scoring 4 under par 40 points. In order to determine runner up, it required us to look at their back nine scores. After countback John took second place with better back nine score of 21pts vs. Bonsang’s inward score of 19pts which were enough for him to take third place.
Last Saturday 4 players had 2s on their card – Andrew Hulston birdied the 5th, Elman Rzayev and Ilgar Ahmadov birdied the 10th and David Seo birdied 17th hole to put 2 on his scorecard.

We welcome summer and the warmer weather now summer has officially started. It was great weekend for golf and I hope everyone is enjoying the current course condition. There has been plenty of positive and supportive feedback about the course, which is great to hear! We are always looking for improvement and ways to improve our members and guest experience around the facility.
On course this week we are applying a granular fertiliser application across the tees, fore greens, fairways and inner rough areas. We use a balanced 16.16.16 NPK fertiliser applied at a rate of 250kg per hectare. Approximately 12,000kg will be applied to the course.
