ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE Course DRAINAGE Two drainage systems were installed in the 18th fairway, similar to systems installed on the 16th and 17th fairways in recent years with both draining into the burn. VEGETATION PLAN WORKS An annual review of the Vegetation Plan was carried out to consider the merits of works completed in the year and also to consider future works required. Having this plan enables there to be a consistent approach to managing vegetation across the course over time. Among the activities in this plan (click here to view) are proposed works left of the rear of the 4th green and adjacent the 5th tee in conjunction with the construction of the on course toilet facility, which will require some clearing of vegetation beside the 5th tee. Plans are underway to remove the declining Melaleuca on the fence line along the 4th green as undertaken on the 2nd tee which will be replaced with species that will not encroach into the area and will tie into the new screening plantings around the new toilet block. This will widen the traffic corridor along the 4th green and to the 5th tee and will assist in maintaining a better surface in a high traffic area. Enhancement of the wetland area to the north of the toilet area will also be undertaken, with reed removal and replanting. Vegetation works completed during the year included: • Strengthening of the native vegetation on the right side of the 12th fairway, approximately 250 metres off the tee; • Extending the native vegetation behind the 17th tee and short right of the 16th green to provide a further hazard, to improve safety and re route traffic to the 17th tee; • Removal of the wedge of vegetation at the end of the path from tee to green on the 3rd, which has created a wider path exit sodded with Santa Ana that transitions nicely into the fairway.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE Course STAFF We saw a change in the Course Foreman’s role late in 2021, with Thomas Burridge, having only been back with us for just under a year, leave the industry and move on to other things. Thankfully, we had a replacement within the group, with Matt Gates offered the opportunity to step up into this important role within the staff structure. Matt continues to gain knowledge and experience and is currently working through the latter stages of his Diploma of Horticulture. Our long serving gardener, Malcolm Campbell hung up the secateurs during March (on his 75th birthday). Malcolm was on staff as a permanent part time employee for the last few years, following on from a long period of time where he was engaged as a sub-contractor to maintain the club gardens, along with assisting with some tree watering and minor course maintenance items. Malcolm’s knowledge and experience will certainly be missed, however we wish him well in retirement and look forward to offering opportunities to others in the roles that Malcolm completed for us. I would like to acknowledge the on going efforts of Richard, Adam and their course team. Greenkeeping is a relentless job, with early starts, variable weather and flying golf balls all adding to the daily challenges they face.

The Committee originally indicated at the member information session in November 2021 that the cost of the practice facility upgrade was to be in the vicinity of $1.75M and would be fully funded within the Club’s existing cashflow forecast without impacting the repayment timeframe of the Clubhouse debt to be fully repaid by 2026/27. The $1M expected increase in cost for the project (to be confirmed at tender) will add 12-18 months to the total loan repayment timeframe. The Committee remains extremely confident in the Club’s ability to generate sufficient annual cash surpluses to invest in these infrastructure projects for the benefits of current and future members and repay any associated debt over a manageable 5-7 year period. The Club’s future cashflows will remain strong if we can maintain an active waiting list of potential members ready to join the Club. The Committee strongly believes our best opportunity to attract new members is to continue to maintain a golf course of the highest quality while providing unique and contemporary membership facilities and services not offered by our competitors.

The existing indexes have been in place for several years and an initial review of hole difficulty using actual rounds data over the last 12 months identified a number of anomalies to be considered. Another topic of discussion at Match Committee has been a review of the length of the course from each tee marker, with a decision made to lengthen the black and blue markers on the 2nd and 4th holes following the extension of these two tees during the year. The Committee continues to consider other potential changes to the length of the various tees on course but is yet to make any firm decisions in this regard. There is no easy fix to reduce rounds of golf on the course without a reduction in the number of members, which remains a key responsibility of the Membership Committee.
