A Night on the Green Join us for a fantastic evening at the Clare Golf Club featuring delicious curries by Antidote Kitchen and local wines. Dress in a touch of green...

How AI described yesterday:
"Saturday 18 July brought a beautiful winter's day to Clare. The morning began near freezing with a low of just 0.3°C, creating ideal conditions for frost and early mist in low-lying areas. Calm winds and very high atmospheric pressure made for a still, peaceful start before the ☀️gradually warmed the district. The day remained dry with little to no wind, providing excellent conditions for 🏌️‍♀️, 🚶‍♀️‍➡️🚶‍➡️🚶‍♀️‍➡️and outdoor activities once the morning chill lifted."
Yep, that's about right.

A Nutrien Ag Solutions Par round for the 28 players and even though the course was in excellent condition, greens true and fast the scores were not as bright as the weather.
Trent Brown 0 won the 🏆and clubhouse $'s thanks to Nutrien Ag Solutions, Trent was 1/4 foot from dunking his tee shot on the signature par 3 #7, he sank the birdie. Enjoy the Wykari.
Great to have Stephen Gill back out, his -1 good enough for 🥈, Tom Hawker relegated to 🥉on a c/b.

Unfortunately there was a display of reckless cart usage on course. Imagine if our grounds team were to turn up to your workplace, for example you've just laid a concrete slab and they walk all over it, maybe pour a heap of water on it. You'd call that vandalism.
You doing circle work around another cart potentially damaging cart and course......we call that vandalism.
We won't name and shame but we have your details to follow up costs and if needed have absolutely no problem in barring you from the course.
Have some respect.

Why, why, why?
The love of the game is why 23 stepped out for stableford comp by Gold sponsor Jim Barry Wines.
Conditions were tough with 🌧️and 💨persisting through the day and it got rather chilly out, not conducive for good scoring.
Only the par 3's and 10th playing less than 1 shot harder than par.

In a huge turn around in form from Thursday Mitchell Butler was the victor 🏆with 34 points and thanks to Jim Barry Wines gets clubhouse 💰's. The course played two strokes harder so Mitch played to his handicap, the only to do so. Well done Mitch.

In 🥈 was Daniel Wilson with 33, making the turn only 2 over Daniel was keen to get back out, rough conditions 12 through 14 hampered his run. Richard Sandow in 🥉with 32 on a 4 way countback from Anthony Rametta, Tom Hawker and John 'the GREAT Man' Nairn.

Sharp Shooter NTP's
Wykari of Clare #7 Anthony Nitschke - hitting it so close he ran down the hill an umbrella to sink his birdie putt.
Clare Hotel #9 Matt Butler - walking in his birdie putt from 10 feet.
clos Clare Wines #12 Toby Milburn - pure golf shot
Clare Valley Meats #14 Anthony Rametta - media had no eyes on it sorry Anthony.

Hard to win the jackpot hole when there are no 4 pointers!

Paulett Wines & Bush DeVine Restaurant stroke round is what's played on the 1st Saturday of the month, the winners receiving vouchers to enjoy a meal at the Bush DeVine Restaurant and bottles of wine.

🏆88 net 67 was the winning score from Stuart Pike who is starting to feel his new clubs, may the honeymoon phase last for a long time. Very good golf Stuart in tough heavy conditions.
Harry Butler got over a case of early round wobbles to come home strong 95 net 71 for 🥈and family bragging rights, unfortunately for Dad Harry switched the wine for golf balls.
In 🥉off scratch with an even par 72 was John 'the GREAT Man' Nairn, eagle on 10 double on 11, bogey on 12 birdie on 13.
What a ride. Paulett Wines for John Nairn.

Good luck to those teeing up in the Yacka Open today.

Tickets are on sale for A Night on the Green on 15th August, see the flyer for details. It will be a great night.

It's been a wet few weeks but the course is holding up rather well with the greens still form and rolling exceptionally well.
The grounds team trialed a members cart access which allowed the use of carts when the decision could have been to close access to carts. Under struct driving instructions members did the right thing which is pleasing.

Good Golfing!

We continue to invest in machinery that will help our Grounds Team in their push for further course improvement.
This week thanks to Metropolitan Machinery we took delivery of a Stargreen TD700 top dresser, this cool bit of kit will make top dressing easier and more efficient and ultimately better green surfaces.

Kids in candy shop were the men in the shed.

Need wood?
We have wood.
