PAR
FOR THE COURSE march 2024
from the President It has been a while since the last Par for the Course and a lot has been happening. We have engaged a new General Manager, Peter Davies. Peter is three weeks into the position and is already making an impression with all that he has met. Peter brings to the position a wealth of experience and enthusiasm and is settling in well to the Hawks Nest family. We have been busy in other areas with: Stage one of our solar upgrade completed, paid for and working well. Our fire panels have been upgraded. Our security panel has been upgraded. The new switch board at the rear of the club is being installed on Monday the 4th March. The practice bunker has been upgraded and already in use with Andrew & Glen utilising them for their clinics.
The Playground proved to be a resounding success particularly over the holiday period. It was excellent to see young family’s using the outdoor area and the kids having something to do rather than running through the club. Our Lucky Members Barrel Draw is back on Wednesday’s, Friday’s and Sunday’s! We will now be drawing two winners each night to win the $100 club voucher. The board met on Tuesday night the 27th February and passed a motion not to purge the pro shop account (Mi Club Andrew conducting the Ladies Pennants Clinic in the Competition Winnings) this year. We appeal to members to new practice chipping bunker reduce their prize winning and balls by the three methods suggested. If not successful in reducing the prize pool this year then the Board will revist the idea of purging the accounts next year. The Winnings/Balls can be redeemed in the following manner: Purchase golfing equipment, apparel, lessons or balls from the pro shop. Transfer to your club account and use the funds in the club for food and beverages. Pay part or all of your next year’s golf membership.
