I’m having a heart op in a month, need to take 3 weeks off. Looking forward to the holiday
Speedy recovery mate, enjoy that time off first though

Autumn is here in that the days are getting shorter, the sun lower and the trees are starting to change. With sunny days in the low to mid 30's and ground temp still at 19 degrees the grass is still growing. This is 10mm of growth in 4 days.



And my view for the week as we follow the leader, double cut ready for the coming competitions. We do mix it up though with a sneaky overtake or bump and run through out the day



We've had our first rain, problem being it rained too much. The Friday before last, ahead of the first round of club champs and with the course immaculate we had 80mm in 45 minutes.



With the first round called off this is what we were greeted to the next morning.





Gladly though alot of members turned up to help and the majority of the damage was cleaned up by the end of the day.



We were back in on the Sunday and we've put alot of long hours in this week to have the course ready for champs this weekend. We're all exhausted and I'm looking forward to a sleep in and a long drive in the Escort tomorrow.

The same hole as the pictures above as of yesterday afternoon, 7 days later almost to the minute that the storm hit.
