Tidy Trimming

You have probably noticed some positive improvements to the 150yd marker cedar bushes on the course.

Thanks to the skillful work of Wayne from the greens crew and member Gene Balfour the bushes on the par 4 and 5 holes have undergone a transformation.

This tidy trimming is not only nice to look at, it helps with the pace of play as balls are passing through the base and not getting stuck underneath. Wayne and Gene started with the largest bush on the 9th hole and once they perfected their skills, completed the work on the rest. Hats off to our bushmen for a job well done!

Did you know? If your ball does end up under one of the 150yd bushes or your stance or swing is impacted by the bush, you are entitled to free relief under Rule 16.1 of the Rules of Golf. This means you can, without having to take a penalty stroke, move the ball so you can hit it. When dropping your ball, it cannot be closer to the hole and the area to drop needs to be within one club length of the spot you determine where you can stand and swing. This video provides a good explanation of this rule - picture the sprinkler control box as the 150yd bush.
