<\/p>\n
With another short week behind us, the team has remained focused on the finer details while continuing general mowing practices across the course. We are still awaiting the structural engineer\u2019s report for the bridge on hole 11. Once this is received, together with the recommended next steps, we will communicate the upcoming stages of work.<\/span><\/p>\n This week, we also farewell and thank our Canadian team members. Each has made a significant contribution to our summer operations, and we sincerely appreciate their efforts. We wish them all the very best in their future endeavours.<\/p>\n As many will have noticed over the past four months, we have experienced ongoing issues with the lakes on holes 3 and 10. While pumps have been installed to maintain water levels, both lakes are fundamentally leaking, and at a relatively significant rate. At this stage, Goldings have been unable to determine the exact source of the leakage. Although acceptable water levels were maintained during the WPGA event, this approach is not sustainable long-term.<\/p>\n Goldings have since commissioned an independent report and have advised that the next step will be to allow the lake levels to drop. This will enable key infrastructure areas to be exposed, properly assessed, and repaired as required. There is currently no confirmed timeline for these works; however, we will continue to keep members informed as updates become available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Next week, the following will be addressed:<\/span><\/p>\n Application of a wetting agent and pre-emergent herbicide to the green aprons and fairways on The Pines golf course<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Application of a wetting agent and foliar fertiliser to the tees on The Pines golf course<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Application of foliar fertiliser to the tees, green aprons, and fairways on The Palms golf course<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Trimming and detailing of bunkers on The Palms golf course<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Mowing of the rough on The Palms golf course<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Continued Ventrac mulching works along the tree lines on The Pines golf course<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/h3>\n
