27 players teed off on a warm dry morning (21 degrees) with a forecast of rain later in the day and for the next week.

The grass cover in the 'rough' off the fairways was a bit thick causing players a bit of difficulty striking the green from the rough with 300mm preferred lie on fairways.

The greens were well manicured.

The Bunkers were in challenging and GUR where water was in them.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Julian Werrett.

28 players teed off on a clear warm morning with no rain forecast.

The Greens had a good cover of grass enabling good putting opportunities.

26/04/2025 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 7:00am

32 players teed off on a warm morning with overcast skies and a slight breeze that helped to keep the heat and humidity in check. Rain was forecast for early afternoon.

The fairways had a very good grass cover and they had been well mowed producing a reasonable amount of 'run' and the rough was a bit long but in good condition.

The greens were in good condition helping good putters to sink their putts.

Bunkers were GUR (Ground Under Repair, out-of-play) and players were allowed 6 inch preferred lie on fairways.

19/04/2025 - Woolooware Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 06:10am

 Tim Tillbrook has provided new tape measures to be used on the D&P and NTP holes for measuring the distance from the edge of the hole to the front of the golf ball which is then written on the pin marker attached to the tape measure.

This was the second round of the Eclectic Competition for 2025.

32 players teed off on a clear warm morning with no rain forecast.

The fairways were dry with a thick covering of grass but patchy on some fairways.

The Greens were cored 4 weeks ago and there still sand evident in spots on some greens. That together with a lot of moisture on them, until the sun burned it off, made putting challenging.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Julian Werrett.

05/04/2024 - Mt Broughton Golf Course - SINGLES MATCHPLAY - FINAL ROUND - Ambrose - 9:00am

SINGLES MATCHPLAY CHAMPIONSHIP COMPETITION

 Frank Fuller defeated Ian Tillbrook 3&2

26 players arrived to a cool (10 degree) morning with strong winds from the south and clear sky

The proshop dropped a bombshell when they informed the Secretary & Treasurer that a recent sale of the golf club to a new owner resulting in a new management team and an increase in green fees from $57 per player that we paid in March 24 to $89 per player today. The Treasurer charged players $50 in competition fees and this green fee charged by Mt Broughton would have resulted in MGC being required to subsidize $1014 to today's competition plus the cost of prizes. Those players who were present agreed to pay an additional $20 per player in an effort to reduce the subsidy down from $1014 to $494 which was considered to be a much more reasonable amount. A BIG THANK YOU to all players for their unselfish response.

1. Buso Tour is being booked for 2nd week in August. Please respond to the email invitation sent out by Scott Whyte who is organising the trip again this year. It is always a great trip with a mixture or good golf course, a day at the Gold Coast Races and great accommodation in Mermaid Waters close to the Casino and good restaurants and watering holes.

2. The Minutes of the recent AGM have been uploaded to the website by Scott Whyte prior to heading off to Singapore on a Pacific Cruise.

Adrian Adelerhof has undergone a double knee replacement and although he will not be back playing golf until June 2025 he is planning to join us at The Ridge next week for the after-game presentation. 

Green Fees will increase to $60 commencing next week (12 April). The increase is required to offset increasing green fees charged by the golf clubs and address the losses experienced by MGC over recent years. This increase should restore the club to a more profitable footing and avoid the need for further increases in the near future. This increase was approved by the members who attended the AGM.

29/03/2025 - Rosnay (Auburn) Golf Course - WASHED OUT

22/03/2025 - Boomerang Golf Course - SINGLES MATCHPLAY - SEMI-FINAL ROUND - Individual Stableford - 7:00am (later start due to fog)

35 players teed off on a cool overcast morning (16 degrees) with fog that stopped us from seeing the green from the tee on the first hole. The fog did however clear after the eighth group reached the 4th fairway.

Bunkers were OUT OF PLAY.

The fairways had a good covering of grass albeit a little long. The grass in the rough was well mowed in most places but there were also parts of the course that were a bit soggy under foot that stopped them from being mowed. Carts should not have been allowed on the course as they did a fair bit of damage.

The 8th hole was out of play so we only played 17 holes instead of the normal 18.

The grass on the greens was long and needed a good mow. The greens were spotted with dead grass in places making putting challenging as the ball bounced all over the place. Players had to hit their putts very firmly as the long grass slowed the ball making putting pretty much hit and miss.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Brett Saunders

08/03/2025 - The Ridge Golf Course - SINGLES MATCHPLAY - ROUND 2 - Individual Stableford - 7:10am

 32 players teed off on an overcast morning with rain threatening. Cyclone Alfred is having a big impact to the weather in SE Queensland and northern NSW and that may be having an impact to weather in The Shire.

Bunkers were GUR and out of play and there was a 300mm preferred lie on the fairways only.

The greens were in very good condition but were a bit slow for putting due to the length of the grass and the moisture on the green.

The fairways were also a bit damp but there were no pools of water on any fairways.

01/03/2025 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - SINGLES MATCHPLAY - ROUND 1 Individual Stableford - 6:50am

32 players teed off on a warm morning with clear skies and a slight breeze that helped to keep the heat and humidity in check.

The fairways had a very good grass cover and they had been well mowed producing a reasonable amount of 'run' and the rough was a bit long but in good condition.

The greens were in good condition helping goof putters to sink their putts.

Bunkers were in play and players were allowed 6 inch preferred lie on fairways.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Matt Gillespie
