President's Message
John 'Swampy' Marsh

• Although the course is closed for coring, a special mention to all our hardy volunteers who set a new course record for clearing all the greens on the first day
• Big shout out to Bruce Lewer who is brightening up the course dunnies with a fresh coat of paint.
• Thanks to Pratty (BOP Asphalt) for his patchwork in the carpark.  Great job, thanks guys
• Also to Tina & Conrad in the kitchen for the legendary bacon & egg pie for the volunteers
• A huge shout out to all our club sponsors
• Important Message to all Members: Please keep off the sown soil along the 13^th path.  Please stay on the path. Also, please don’t drive or take your trundler on the soil between the 15^th and 16^th.  Walk to your ball and pick it up.  It has been prepped for seed.
• A big thanks to our greenkeepers who have put in big hours this week to prep greens and fertilise to beat the weather.
• Finally, to John Herder, who for many years has kept the area in the donga clear of mangroves.  Many thanks John

Bar Loyalty
From tomorrow (13 APR) we will be introducing ‘loyalty’ for purchase of bar products.  You will get a percentage of each sale credited to your house account.  For example, a full member who spends $10 at the bar, will get $1 credited to their account.

This applies to all purchases regardless of payment method.  It means you will have to have your name attached to each sale (one member only per sale).  The quickest and easiest way to do that is have your QR code ready.  If you don’t know how to get that on your phone, please ask a staff member to help.

Please be patient with our staff as initially this may slow down service.  You can help by using your QR code to speed things up.

10% Loyalty Membership Categories: Full Playing, 9-Hole, Under 40, Associate
5% Loyalty Membership Categories: Sunday, Under 25, Under 19, Under 13

Bar & Shop Prices
Alongside the above, you will notice the bar prices and some of the shop prices have been adjusted.  An inevitable result of the increasing costs from our suppliers.
