BULLETIN Friday 3^rd May

Creek work and further drainage works

Ben Maison has returned to the course this week to rectify a issues that we have had and complete the drain between the sheds and the cattle yards. Thanks Ben and your crew.

The works rectifying the creek bank damage along the 15^th fairway have also been completed and tree planting will take place late winter/early autumn.

Major maintenance will be completed by Alan Rockliff on other drainage channels commencing this week. If anyone can assist Rocky with driving the Club Truck please let Rocky or Jim Martin know.

Please remember to treat any works and wheel/track marks as GUR until further notice. As the works settle we will do some more tyding up and resowing areas.

Mens Pennant Sunday 28/04

The Chiltern sand scrapes obviously rattled our Section 2 pennant boys today - going down 4 & a half to…..Chiltern. Home ground advantage obviously playing an important part! Bad luck fellas but good on you for representing our club.

Team was Brad Carroll, Paul G, Craig Shewell and the Veldman bros Pieter & Geoff.

Men's Myrtleford Section 3 Handicap team suffered another close defeat going down 3/2 to Mansfield at Benalla. This means they cannot challenge for the finals. Congratulations to those members who committed to the pennant season for Section 3. Craig Piazza as Captain, Ben Holmes, Paul Cowman, Zac Cunnen, Trout Batt. Look towards next season gents.
