GENERAL MANAGER
We had 155 players on the day coming from as far afield as Gympie and Carindale Many favourable comments about the beauty and spectacular condition that the course is in were made This is a huge pat on the back for our ground staff and outside services Thanks must also be given to the men from the Vets who assisted with lsquospottingrsquo around the course for the duration of play As many of the lady players had not played our course before their added assistance with raking bunkers and monitoring play in strategic places is a huge benefit in helping to keep the day moving Also an enormous thanks go to Bob Hodgson and Edward Roskott who very ably filled the large shoes that were vacated by Neville Noon this year writing up the board and keeping the scores It is a wonderful thing to be involved in a club where the men are so keen to support the women when they are running such an event
A huge congratulations go to Wipawee Huana and Maureen Jack for Winning the C Grade Gross and Nett competitions respectively Wipawee is a new member and did a sensational job as did Maureen Overall the Pelican Waters contingent managed to gain a 2nd place in the Nett Pennant competition which was held in conjunction with the Open Day This is a sensational achievement
Thanks must also go to Clive and his staff and Jimmy and his crew for providing such a lovely lunch for the women and who managed the influx of ladies wanting both hot and cold beverages after their long day with good humour A big shout out also to all the ladies that provided the morning teas which were available to the competitors on arrival and at lunch and to those who assisted in ferrying the meals to the appropriate players when they arrived for lunch he staff
in Reception did an exceptional job and Jodi in the Pro-Shop gets a special mention for the amount of work that she put in to get the day organised at their end There was a lot to do and it was all done with a smile Thank you Jodi Next on the list is the Pennant Season We get to draw a breath over Easter and then head into that
Trusting that you are all enjoying our beautiful course and that your golf is keeping you happy

$19000 for Rotary amp Sunnykids on a fun amp successful golf day
If you havenrsquot got one in your bag you should seriously consider replacing your three or four iron with oneLPGA Tour player Paula Creamer ranks third in Greens in Regulation (742) and she attributes much of this to her set of hybrids Depending on the course shersquos playing she will carry up to three hybrids in her bag and never an iron longer than a five iron The key to hitting a hybrid is to hit down on it like an iron so you make a small divot in front of the ball It can also be easy to shape the hybrid as some people may disagreeThe following is how Paula hits her hybrids
STANDARD HYBRID Although the hybrid looks like a fairway wood think of it more like an iron because the club shaft length is only slightly longer than the equivalent iron Play the ball slightly forward than the middle of your stance like you would a long iron and your hands should be in line with the ball After yoursquove taken the club back make sure you focus on making a descending blow and finish with your hands high and weight on the left leg
LOW HYBRID DRAW To hit a low draw set up with the ball slightly back of centre weight forward and stance closed Notice in the picture the slight shaft lean forward which de-lofts the club for a lower trajectory The key point for a draw is to swing around your body to make an in-to-out swing path and finish with your hands lower than your normal swing
HIGH HYBRID FADE The hold off fade is a great shot to have in the bag Set up should be similar to the standard swing but stance is open (aligned to the left) and slightly wider As she hits through the ball Paula thinks of keeping her right arm from turning over her left and tries to keep the face open You could experiment on the range with this by also holding the club with your left hand (top hand) tighter as you move through impact In the picture above you can see her chest has finished high but she hasnrsquot released the club Reference golfdigestcom

Shanersquos SLICE HOW TO HIT A HYBRID
One of the better and more recent innovations to the game is the hybrid Great for long approach shots as they can fly higher through the air and stop quickly on the greens or be able to ldquorescuerdquo you from the rough back onto the fairway

PENNANT UPDATE
Congratulations to our Menrsquos Pennant team in advancing to the semi-finals of the Glasshouse Mountains Golf Zone Pennant series Unfortunately the boys lost in a very close battle to the 2015 overall winners Wantima Golf Club Jackson Hopkins and his team have built a very strong team spirit and comradery over the last several years and is something that will only get stronger into the future

Player numbers
With the favourable weather conditions to start the 2016 year we have seen a growth in members rounds compared to the 2015 year ndash 6329 rounds compared to 6126 between January and March 2015 With this in mind it is essential that the course is maintained to the high level that we all expect and enjoy Please make sure all divots and pitch marks are repaired (even if they arenrsquot yours) as well as ensuring bunkers are raked thoroughly ndash ultimately creating an enjoyable on-course experience for all players time and time again
Club Fitting

Around the greens
The machines will be working hard over the next couple of
weeks to get it under control again (especially the rough)
In February we received showers on 15 days out of the
month A total of 101mm of rainfall was recorded
At the start of the month we completed the application of
pre-emergent herbicide to minimise the germination of
Winter Grass We have commenced spot spraying of all
other foreign grasses with a post emergent herbicide
All greens and tees have been sprayed with an insecticide
called Acelepryn This product will protect the grass from
lawn grubs as they can be quite prevalent leading into
winter Acelepryn has a residual component which can
last for up to six months
Cabomba Water Weed in the lake system continues to
multiply with the warmer temperatures we have been
receiving All areas are monitored and prioritized as to
when they receive a herbicide application
In the photo you can see worm castings on the 18th green
Casting occurs when worms deposit processed matter as
small mounds on the surface of the turf Although worms
are of great benefit to the soil excessive casts are a
problem as they can affect ball roll and effect equipment
Hi MembersWith Easter coming early this year and the public holidays making short weeks it was difficult for the maintenance crew to keep up with the growth of the grass

I recently received an email newsletter from one of my favourite market commentators Peter Thornhill from Motivated Money Peterrsquos message has not changed in the 15 years I have been following him Invest in quality industrial (ie non resources) shares for a growing dividend stream and growing asset value Peterrsquos belief is that your primary risk as a retiree is not the day to day volatility of the sharemarket not the risk of losing money but the risk of outliving it He points out that when you chart the monthly movements of the sharemarket it is quite volatile However when you chart it by plotting the closing value at each year end as if the sharemarket had only opened one day each year it is not that volatile at all ndash it is almost a straight line upwards All the noise of the day to day movements is just useless chatter unless you are a chartist uselessly trying to pick out lsquodouble topsrsquo and lsquohead and shouldersrsquoWith a portfolio of industrial shares it is possible to meet your immediate spending needs through dividends alone without the need to sell assets thus maintaining the original capital Over time a dividend stream can grow substantially outweighing the effects of inflation Thornhill retired in 20072008 and moved from reinvesting all his dividends to taking them as cash to fund his living expenses Although through the GFC it was painful watching the paper value of his share investments halve in value his income only fell by 20 However his strategy of holding two years living expenses in cash paid off and he didnrsquot need to sell anything That strategy also provided opportunity as he was able to take advantage of low prices to top up his holdings As an example in 2008 he purchased Commonwealth Bank shares at $26 Since then it has
paid $2129 in dividends or 80 of the purchase price In addition the shares are worth approximately 3 times what he paid for them He makes his point by comparing $100000 invested in term deposits back in 1980 It would still be worth $100000 now (really a lot less after the effect of inflation) and the income of about $14000 would now be $3000 based on current interest rates A portfolio of industrial shares would be yielding $80000 and be worth $18 million Itrsquos hard not to be persuaded by his argumentBy focussing only on the income and not the prices of our shares he avoided much of the angst associated with the GFC Also as life expectancy has increased with medical and lifestyle advances he is ensuring the asset base remains intact and the income stream continues to grow for decades to come Over the years many people have been reduced to living totally on the old age pension because they had initially relied on bank deposits in what they thought was the lsquosafersquo option In fact this proved to be the riskiest option as investors have outlived their funds Personally I have always invested in shares I know also that as I get older I wonrsquot be moving to term deposits I will always invest in the safety of shares And Irsquoll be better off for it You can subscribe to Peter Thornhillrsquos emails at wwwmotivated moneycomau

A huge congratulations go to Wipawee Huana and Maureen Jack for Winning the C Grade Gross and Nett competitions respectively Wipawee is a new member and did a sensational job as did Maureen Overall the Pelican Waters contingent managed to gain a 2nd place in the Nett Pennant competition which was held in conjunction with the Open Day This is a sensational achievement
Thanks must also go to Clive and his staff and Jimmy and his crew for providing such a lovely lunch for the women and who managed the influx of ladies wanting both hot and cold beverages after their long day with good humour A big shout out also to all the ladies that provided the morning teas which were available to the competitors on arrival and at lunch and to those who assisted in ferrying the meals to the appropriate players when they arrived for lunch he staff
in Reception did an exceptional job and Jodi in the Pro-Shop gets a special mention for the amount of work that she put in to get the day organised at their end There was a lot to do and it was all done with a smile Thank you Jodi Next on the list is the Pennant Season We get to draw a breath over Easter and then head into that
Trusting that you are all enjoying our beautiful course and that your golf is keeping you happy

If you havenrsquot got one in your bag you should seriously consider replacing your three or four iron with oneLPGA Tour player Paula Creamer ranks third in Greens in Regulation (742) and she attributes much of this to her set of hybrids Depending on the course shersquos playing she will carry up to three hybrids in her bag and never an iron longer than a five iron The key to hitting a hybrid is to hit down on it like an iron so you make a small divot in front of the ball It can also be easy to shape the hybrid as some people may disagreeThe following is how Paula hits her hybrids
STANDARD HYBRID Although the hybrid looks like a fairway wood think of it more like an iron because the club shaft length is only slightly longer than the equivalent iron Play the ball slightly forward than the middle of your stance like you would a long iron and your hands should be in line with the ball After yoursquove taken the club back make sure you focus on making a descending blow and finish with your hands high and weight on the left leg
LOW HYBRID DRAW To hit a low draw set up with the ball slightly back of centre weight forward and stance closed Notice in the picture the slight shaft lean forward which de-lofts the club for a lower trajectory The key point for a draw is to swing around your body to make an in-to-out swing path and finish with your hands lower than your normal swing
HIGH HYBRID FADE The hold off fade is a great shot to have in the bag Set up should be similar to the standard swing but stance is open (aligned to the left) and slightly wider As she hits through the ball Paula thinks of keeping her right arm from turning over her left and tries to keep the face open You could experiment on the range with this by also holding the club with your left hand (top hand) tighter as you move through impact In the picture above you can see her chest has finished high but she hasnrsquot released the club Reference golfdigestcom

Player numbers
With the favourable weather conditions to start the 2016 year we have seen a growth in members rounds compared to the 2015 year ndash 6329 rounds compared to 6126 between January and March 2015 With this in mind it is essential that the course is maintained to the high level that we all expect and enjoy Please make sure all divots and pitch marks are repaired (even if they arenrsquot yours) as well as ensuring bunkers are raked thoroughly ndash ultimately creating an enjoyable on-course experience for all players time and time again

Around the greens
The machines will be working hard over the next couple of
weeks to get it under control again (especially the rough)
In February we received showers on 15 days out of the
month A total of 101mm of rainfall was recorded
At the start of the month we completed the application of
pre-emergent herbicide to minimise the germination of
Winter Grass We have commenced spot spraying of all
other foreign grasses with a post emergent herbicide
All greens and tees have been sprayed with an insecticide
called Acelepryn This product will protect the grass from
lawn grubs as they can be quite prevalent leading into
winter Acelepryn has a residual component which can
last for up to six months
Cabomba Water Weed in the lake system continues to
multiply with the warmer temperatures we have been
receiving All areas are monitored and prioritized as to
when they receive a herbicide application
In the photo you can see worm castings on the 18th green
Casting occurs when worms deposit processed matter as
small mounds on the surface of the turf Although worms
are of great benefit to the soil excessive casts are a
problem as they can affect ball roll and effect equipment
Hi MembersWith Easter coming early this year and the public holidays making short weeks it was difficult for the maintenance crew to keep up with the growth of the grass

I recently received an email newsletter from one of my favourite market commentators Peter Thornhill from Motivated Money Peterrsquos message has not changed in the 15 years I have been following him Invest in quality industrial (ie non resources) shares for a growing dividend stream and growing asset value Peterrsquos belief is that your primary risk as a retiree is not the day to day volatility of the sharemarket not the risk of losing money but the risk of outliving it He points out that when you chart the monthly movements of the sharemarket it is quite volatile However when you chart it by plotting the closing value at each year end as if the sharemarket had only opened one day each year it is not that volatile at all ndash it is almost a straight line upwards All the noise of the day to day movements is just useless chatter unless you are a chartist uselessly trying to pick out lsquodouble topsrsquo and lsquohead and shouldersrsquoWith a portfolio of industrial shares it is possible to meet your immediate spending needs through dividends alone without the need to sell assets thus maintaining the original capital Over time a dividend stream can grow substantially outweighing the effects of inflation Thornhill retired in 20072008 and moved from reinvesting all his dividends to taking them as cash to fund his living expenses Although through the GFC it was painful watching the paper value of his share investments halve in value his income only fell by 20 However his strategy of holding two years living expenses in cash paid off and he didnrsquot need to sell anything That strategy also provided opportunity as he was able to take advantage of low prices to top up his holdings As an example in 2008 he purchased Commonwealth Bank shares at $26 Since then it has
paid $2129 in dividends or 80 of the purchase price In addition the shares are worth approximately 3 times what he paid for them He makes his point by comparing $100000 invested in term deposits back in 1980 It would still be worth $100000 now (really a lot less after the effect of inflation) and the income of about $14000 would now be $3000 based on current interest rates A portfolio of industrial shares would be yielding $80000 and be worth $18 million Itrsquos hard not to be persuaded by his argumentBy focussing only on the income and not the prices of our shares he avoided much of the angst associated with the GFC Also as life expectancy has increased with medical and lifestyle advances he is ensuring the asset base remains intact and the income stream continues to grow for decades to come Over the years many people have been reduced to living totally on the old age pension because they had initially relied on bank deposits in what they thought was the lsquosafersquo option In fact this proved to be the riskiest option as investors have outlived their funds Personally I have always invested in shares I know also that as I get older I wonrsquot be moving to term deposits I will always invest in the safety of shares And Irsquoll be better off for it You can subscribe to Peter Thornhillrsquos emails at wwwmotivated moneycomau

Around the greens
The machines will be working hard over the next couple of
weeks to get it under control again (especially the rough)
In February we received showers on 15 days out of the
month A total of 101mm of rainfall was recorded
At the start of the month we completed the application of
pre-emergent herbicide to minimise the germination of
Winter Grass We have commenced spot spraying of all
other foreign grasses with a post emergent herbicide
All greens and tees have been sprayed with an insecticide
called Acelepryn This product will protect the grass from
lawn grubs as they can be quite prevalent leading into
winter Acelepryn has a residual component which can
last for up to six months
Cabomba Water Weed in the lake system continues to
multiply with the warmer temperatures we have been
receiving All areas are monitored and prioritized as to
when they receive a herbicide application
In the photo you can see worm castings on the 18th green
Casting occurs when worms deposit processed matter as
small mounds on the surface of the turf Although worms
are of great benefit to the soil excessive casts are a
problem as they can affect ball roll and effect equipment
Hi MembersWith Easter coming early this year and the public holidays making short weeks it was difficult for the maintenance crew to keep up with the growth of the grass

KICK IT UP A GEARFREE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ACROSS THE ENTIRE MINI RANGE
I recently received an email newsletter from one of my favourite market commentators Peter Thornhill from Motivated Money Peterrsquos message has not changed in the 15 years I have been following him Invest in quality industrial (ie non resources) shares for a growing dividend stream and growing asset value Peterrsquos belief is that your primary risk as a retiree is not the day to day volatility of the sharemarket not the risk of losing money but the risk of outliving it He points out that when you chart the monthly movements of the sharemarket it is quite volatile However when you chart it by plotting the closing value at each year end as if the sharemarket had only opened one day each year it is not that volatile at all ndash it is almost a straight line upwards All the noise of the day to day movements is just useless chatter unless you are a chartist uselessly trying to pick out lsquodouble topsrsquo and lsquohead and shouldersrsquoWith a portfolio of industrial shares it is possible to meet your immediate spending needs through dividends alone without the need to sell assets thus maintaining the original capital Over time a dividend stream can grow substantially outweighing the effects of inflation Thornhill retired in 20072008 and moved from reinvesting all his dividends to taking them as cash to fund his living expenses Although through the GFC it was painful watching the paper value of his share investments halve in value his income only fell by 20 However his strategy of holding two years living expenses in cash paid off and he didnrsquot need to sell anything That strategy also provided opportunity as he was able to take advantage of low prices to top up his holdings As an example in 2008 he purchased Commonwealth Bank shares at $26 Since then it has
paid $2129 in dividends or 80 of the purchase price In addition the shares are worth approximately 3 times what he paid for them He makes his point by comparing $100000 invested in term deposits back in 1980 It would still be worth $100000 now (really a lot less after the effect of inflation) and the income of about $14000 would now be $3000 based on current interest rates A portfolio of industrial shares would be yielding $80000 and be worth $18 million Itrsquos hard not to be persuaded by his argumentBy focussing only on the income and not the prices of our shares he avoided much of the angst associated with the GFC Also as life expectancy has increased with medical and lifestyle advances he is ensuring the asset base remains intact and the income stream continues to grow for decades to come Over the years many people have been reduced to living totally on the old age pension because they had initially relied on bank deposits in what they thought was the lsquosafersquo option In fact this proved to be the riskiest option as investors have outlived their funds Personally I have always invested in shares I know also that as I get older I wonrsquot be moving to term deposits I will always invest in the safety of shares And Irsquoll be better off for it You can subscribe to Peter Thornhillrsquos emails at wwwmotivated moneycomau

$19000 for Rotary amp Sunnykids on a fun amp successful golf day
If you havenrsquot got one in your bag you should seriously consider replacing your three or four iron with oneLPGA Tour player Paula Creamer ranks third in Greens in Regulation (742) and she attributes much of this to her set of hybrids Depending on the course shersquos playing she will carry up to three hybrids in her bag and never an iron longer than a five iron The key to hitting a hybrid is to hit down on it like an iron so you make a small divot in front of the ball It can also be easy to shape the hybrid as some people may disagreeThe following is how Paula hits her hybrids
STANDARD HYBRID Although the hybrid looks like a fairway wood think of it more like an iron because the club shaft length is only slightly longer than the equivalent iron Play the ball slightly forward than the middle of your stance like you would a long iron and your hands should be in line with the ball After yoursquove taken the club back make sure you focus on making a descending blow and finish with your hands high and weight on the left leg
LOW HYBRID DRAW To hit a low draw set up with the ball slightly back of centre weight forward and stance closed Notice in the picture the slight shaft lean forward which de-lofts the club for a lower trajectory The key point for a draw is to swing around your body to make an in-to-out swing path and finish with your hands lower than your normal swing
HIGH HYBRID FADE The hold off fade is a great shot to have in the bag Set up should be similar to the standard swing but stance is open (aligned to the left) and slightly wider As she hits through the ball Paula thinks of keeping her right arm from turning over her left and tries to keep the face open You could experiment on the range with this by also holding the club with your left hand (top hand) tighter as you move through impact In the picture above you can see her chest has finished high but she hasnrsquot released the club Reference golfdigestcom

If you havenrsquot got one in your bag you should seriously consider replacing your three or four iron with oneLPGA Tour player Paula Creamer ranks third in Greens in Regulation (742) and she attributes much of this to her set of hybrids Depending on the course shersquos playing she will carry up to three hybrids in her bag and never an iron longer than a five iron The key to hitting a hybrid is to hit down on it like an iron so you make a small divot in front of the ball It can also be easy to shape the hybrid as some people may disagreeThe following is how Paula hits her hybrids
STANDARD HYBRID Although the hybrid looks like a fairway wood think of it more like an iron because the club shaft length is only slightly longer than the equivalent iron Play the ball slightly forward than the middle of your stance like you would a long iron and your hands should be in line with the ball After yoursquove taken the club back make sure you focus on making a descending blow and finish with your hands high and weight on the left leg
LOW HYBRID DRAW To hit a low draw set up with the ball slightly back of centre weight forward and stance closed Notice in the picture the slight shaft lean forward which de-lofts the club for a lower trajectory The key point for a draw is to swing around your body to make an in-to-out swing path and finish with your hands lower than your normal swing
HIGH HYBRID FADE The hold off fade is a great shot to have in the bag Set up should be similar to the standard swing but stance is open (aligned to the left) and slightly wider As she hits through the ball Paula thinks of keeping her right arm from turning over her left and tries to keep the face open You could experiment on the range with this by also holding the club with your left hand (top hand) tighter as you move through impact In the picture above you can see her chest has finished high but she hasnrsquot released the club Reference golfdigestcom

Shanersquos SLICE HOW TO HIT A HYBRID
One of the better and more recent innovations to the game is the hybrid Great for long approach shots as they can fly higher through the air and stop quickly on the greens or be able to ldquorescuerdquo you from the rough back onto the fairway

Around the greens
The machines will be working hard over the next couple of
weeks to get it under control again (especially the rough)
In February we received showers on 15 days out of the
month A total of 101mm of rainfall was recorded
At the start of the month we completed the application of
pre-emergent herbicide to minimise the germination of
Winter Grass We have commenced spot spraying of all
other foreign grasses with a post emergent herbicide
All greens and tees have been sprayed with an insecticide
called Acelepryn This product will protect the grass from
lawn grubs as they can be quite prevalent leading into
winter Acelepryn has a residual component which can
last for up to six months
Cabomba Water Weed in the lake system continues to
multiply with the warmer temperatures we have been
receiving All areas are monitored and prioritized as to
when they receive a herbicide application
In the photo you can see worm castings on the 18th green
Casting occurs when worms deposit processed matter as
small mounds on the surface of the turf Although worms
are of great benefit to the soil excessive casts are a
problem as they can affect ball roll and effect equipment
Hi MembersWith Easter coming early this year and the public holidays making short weeks it was difficult for the maintenance crew to keep up with the growth of the grass

KICK IT UP A GEARFREE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ACROSS THE ENTIRE MINI RANGE
I recently received an email newsletter from one of my favourite market commentators Peter Thornhill from Motivated Money Peterrsquos message has not changed in the 15 years I have been following him Invest in quality industrial (ie non resources) shares for a growing dividend stream and growing asset value Peterrsquos belief is that your primary risk as a retiree is not the day to day volatility of the sharemarket not the risk of losing money but the risk of outliving it He points out that when you chart the monthly movements of the sharemarket it is quite volatile However when you chart it by plotting the closing value at each year end as if the sharemarket had only opened one day each year it is not that volatile at all ndash it is almost a straight line upwards All the noise of the day to day movements is just useless chatter unless you are a chartist uselessly trying to pick out lsquodouble topsrsquo and lsquohead and shouldersrsquoWith a portfolio of industrial shares it is possible to meet your immediate spending needs through dividends alone without the need to sell assets thus maintaining the original capital Over time a dividend stream can grow substantially outweighing the effects of inflation Thornhill retired in 20072008 and moved from reinvesting all his dividends to taking them as cash to fund his living expenses Although through the GFC it was painful watching the paper value of his share investments halve in value his income only fell by 20 However his strategy of holding two years living expenses in cash paid off and he didnrsquot need to sell anything That strategy also provided opportunity as he was able to take advantage of low prices to top up his holdings As an example in 2008 he purchased Commonwealth Bank shares at $26 Since then it has
paid $2129 in dividends or 80 of the purchase price In addition the shares are worth approximately 3 times what he paid for them He makes his point by comparing $100000 invested in term deposits back in 1980 It would still be worth $100000 now (really a lot less after the effect of inflation) and the income of about $14000 would now be $3000 based on current interest rates A portfolio of industrial shares would be yielding $80000 and be worth $18 million Itrsquos hard not to be persuaded by his argumentBy focussing only on the income and not the prices of our shares he avoided much of the angst associated with the GFC Also as life expectancy has increased with medical and lifestyle advances he is ensuring the asset base remains intact and the income stream continues to grow for decades to come Over the years many people have been reduced to living totally on the old age pension because they had initially relied on bank deposits in what they thought was the lsquosafersquo option In fact this proved to be the riskiest option as investors have outlived their funds Personally I have always invested in shares I know also that as I get older I wonrsquot be moving to term deposits I will always invest in the safety of shares And Irsquoll be better off for it You can subscribe to Peter Thornhillrsquos emails at wwwmotivated moneycomau

paid $2129 in dividends or 80 of the purchase price In addition the shares are worth approximately 3 times what he paid for them He makes his point by comparing $100000 invested in term deposits back in 1980 It would still be worth $100000 now (really a lot less after the effect of inflation) and the income of about $14000 would now be $3000 based on current interest rates A portfolio of industrial shares would be yielding $80000 and be worth $18 million Itrsquos hard not to be persuaded by his argumentBy focussing only on the income and not the prices of our shares he avoided much of the angst associated with the GFC Also as life expectancy has increased with medical and lifestyle advances he is ensuring the asset base remains intact and the income stream continues to grow for decades to come Over the years many people have been reduced to living totally on the old age pension because they had initially relied on bank deposits in what they thought was the lsquosafersquo option In fact this proved to be the riskiest option as investors have outlived their funds Personally I have always invested in shares I know also that as I get older I wonrsquot be moving to term deposits I will always invest in the safety of shares And Irsquoll be better off for it You can subscribe to Peter Thornhillrsquos emails at wwwmotivated moneycomau

Around the greens
The machines will be working hard over the next couple of
weeks to get it under control again (especially the rough)
In February we received showers on 15 days out of the
month A total of 101mm of rainfall was recorded
At the start of the month we completed the application of
pre-emergent herbicide to minimise the germination of
Winter Grass We have commenced spot spraying of all
other foreign grasses with a post emergent herbicide
All greens and tees have been sprayed with an insecticide
called Acelepryn This product will protect the grass from
lawn grubs as they can be quite prevalent leading into
winter Acelepryn has a residual component which can
last for up to six months
Cabomba Water Weed in the lake system continues to
multiply with the warmer temperatures we have been
receiving All areas are monitored and prioritized as to
when they receive a herbicide application
In the photo you can see worm castings on the 18th green
Casting occurs when worms deposit processed matter as
small mounds on the surface of the turf Although worms
are of great benefit to the soil excessive casts are a
problem as they can affect ball roll and effect equipment
Hi MembersWith Easter coming early this year and the public holidays making short weeks it was difficult for the maintenance crew to keep up with the growth of the grass
