Our wonderful course volunteers are at it again, cleaning and tidying up any unkempt areas of the course. This week it was around the BBQ shed and along the 18th fairway.

Cleaning up along the 18th fairway

Around the BBQ, low foliage was removed and trimmed (see photos). Two seats that had been lost for years were found alive! Low branches on the pines along the 18th fairway were trimmed and piled for removal. Thanks again to the volunteer group: Geoff Durham, Seaton Jones, Ron Winzer, Mike Hotchin, Harold Moore, David Head, Doug Williams and Ian Cornthwaite. If you would like to help, please contact Geoff Durham.

After months of often unseasonal warm weather and dry conditions, Trentham Golf Club's Annual Charity Day on Saturday April 14th, in support of the local community Trentham Kindergarten, was unfortunately rained out! While some golfers played a few holes before the rain came down and others never teed off, everyone on the day still donated their entry fee. The trading table and raffles were well supported, but all-in-all the day raised about $1000, well below the previous year's $3000.

If you were unable to play in the event, or decided not to play on the day due to the weather, you can still make a donation. Any amount will be warmly welcomed by the local children who attend this vibrant local kindergarten.

Fill your name and details in the form, choose "Charity Day" from the reasons for payment, and a receipt will be sent to you. You can pay by Paypal, Visa, Mastercard or Direct Bank Deposit (please use "Charity Day" as the direct deposit reference).
