Dear Proshop Proshop, Welcome to the June 2025 e-newsletter. Wet, wet, wet again! 231.4mm of rain in May which adds up to around 550mm over the last 6 weeks. It has been tough going over the last month with the course being closed a few times and a real struggle to get carts on the course. The course maintenance staff are doing it tough. We have just reintroduced Preferred Lies in "All General Areas" around the course as many areas are still too wet to access with mowers making it difficult to find your ball, let alone hit it! Due to the wet weather, the Vets Club Championships has been postponed until the 24th September and 1st of October. On a more positive note, we did get the Mollymook Women's Open, Women's Club Championships, Vets Legacy Day and Marine Rescue Charity Day all played last month. As we approach the shortest daylight period of the year, a quick reminder about slow play, please keep up with the group in front of you! It is that simple. Last Saturday, a couple of groups in the competition couldn't finish their rounds as it was too dark. Some earlier groups in the field finished over a full hole behind the group in front of them which saw the round times go from 4h 20m, to 4h 40m, to over 5 hours and they ran out of daylight. It is obviously still very wet in certain areas on both golf courses so please use caution when walking on hills and slopes around the course. Golf shoes with spikes come in very handy in wet and muddy conditions. Wearing sneakers or spikeless shoes on wet grass can be quite slippery! Please detour around steep banks and use caution. |
