From the GM's Desk

G'day Members,

It’s hard to believe that it’s Christmas on Wednesday, already! The past year has certainly been very busy around the Club with a few trials and tribulations along the way.

The course and in particular the putting surfaces have seen a dramatic improvement in recent weeks and is well set up to handle the FNQ wet season. While we certainly would have liked to get a few more drainage projects completed before the wet, the greens surfaces were our major focus over the last 8 – 10 weeks. Fingers crossed that this wet season is a little more reasonable than last years, that started with Cyclone Jasper in December and seemingly rained all the way into July.

One of the biggest things to look forward to in the New Year with the opening of the rebuilt 10^th hole which will be a much greater challenge than the previous layout. Members and visitors alike will have to think a little more off the tee and playing into the green. The green had its first cut with the triplex mower earlier this week at 8mm (height of cut) and then a 2^nd at 6.5mm. It’s still well and truly on target for an Easter reopening.

Here’s a reminder for the changed trading hours for the Administration Office.

Tuesday 24^th December: 9am-1pm
Christmas Day: Closed
Boxing Day: Closed
Friday 27^th December: 9am-1pm
Saturday 28^th December: Closed
Sunday 29^th December: Closed
Monday 30^th December: 9am-1pm
Tuesday 31^st December (NYE): 9am-1pm
New Year’s Day: Closed
Thursday 2^nd January: 9am-1pm
Friday 3^rd January: 9am-1pm

Normal office hours will commence from Monday 6^th January.
During the above period, the Clubhouse hours will remain relatively the same, weather permitting. Please be aware that if the region is receiving torrential rainfall, the Clubhouse is likely to close, but the Shop will be able service most of your needs.

On behalf of the CGC Board and staff, I wish you and your families all the very best for Christmas and the holiday break and I look forward to seeing you all in 2025.

Hope to see you round the traps!

Season’s greetings to all our members. Hoping everyone has a safe and enjoyable time over the festive season. The course will remain open throughout, with the only change being an earlier close on Christmas Eve & New Year’s Eve.

Thanks to those of you who grabbed a bargain and supported our 12 Days of Christmas Sale.

With possible upcoming storms, now is a good time to remind members of our lightning policy. Please be mindful of the following:

⛳️ Play is suspended if the siren sounds three times.

⛳️ Players should return to the clubhouse.

⛳️ The siren will be sounded once when play is to be resumed.

⛳️ If a player does not wish to return to the course, they may submit a partial card for handicapping or receive a ‘No Score – Approved’.

Rule of the Month: Embedded Ball

Embedded Ball - When FREE relief is allowed

Relief is allowed only when your ball is embedded in the general area. Your ball is embedded only if it is in its own pitch-mark made as a result of your previous stroke and part of your ball is below the level of the ground. But if your ball is embedded on the putting green, you may mark the spot of your ball, lift and clean it, repair the damage, and replace your ball on its original spot. Exceptions – When Relief Not Allowed for Ball Embedded in General Area:

⛳️ When your ball is embedded in sand in a part of the general area that is not cut to fairway height or less, or
⛳️ When playing the ball as it lies is clearly unreasonable because of something from which the player is not allowed to take free relief (such as when you are unable to make a stroke because of where your ball lies in a bush).

Upcoming Events:

🏌 Saturday 4^th January: Stableford Multiplier
(Stableford points scoring in pairs - Players stableford points are multiplied together on each hole i.e. (P1) 3 points x (P2) 2 points = 6 points. If either player has zero points for a hole, will return hole score of zero)

🏌 Wednesday 8^th January: Single Stableford

🏌 Thursday 9^th January: Single Stableford

🏌 Saturday 11^th January: Men’s Queensland Country Bank Monthly Medal. Women’s Stroke.

🏌 Sunday 26^th January: Ambrose Pairs (Australia Day)
