24.01.2022 So here we are golfing peeps of the world. Yep Karratha last weekend sent everything into a spin. To say i played golf would be........just a lie....to say I had a great time....you gotit. Fairways amazing, greens i have to go with improved and inconsistent like my golf really. Big shout out to my bro Wayno, cheers brother, we certainly ploughed through the beers and spirits, the beast stretch from TP, and Yabbi good effort boys. Look forward to catch upon our Open 21st 22nd... September. Over the last weekends, yeh boi goes out to Jayson for cleaning out the birdie pool. Great game Mick Sachse 43 points, 2nd Stephen Delaney by count back from Brendon 36 points. Yesterdays golfing went to Stephen Delaney, 44 points with a wipe, coming back from injury and Taif. 2nd to Dave Schofield 42 points solid back 9 way to bring it home, and in 3rd with 41 points and being away for a bit of a spell, welcome back Ben Haigh. A little tired today folks so the rapport and banter is a little on hold, however just the biggest reminder Fortescue Open 21st and 22nd September, scroungers on the Friday. Hope to see as many as possible to make the weekend a joyful success, and play good golf. Till next we meet keep swinging, hit em long, hit em straight hit em in See more

So just remember to keep you social distances of 4sqm please. If we have to leave the flag in then thats what we need to do. The rake is going to be the hardest thing on our course so we need to take care with these. If anyone has a good idea about how we can control and minimize contact please let me know. Maybe we need to make our own rakes up?? https://www.wa.gov.au//200320%20Mass%20Gatherings%20Direct

I have enjoyed my time away at home visiting my mum and relatives, did not enjoy the two sparined ankles and repetitive gout in said ankles, left knee and right big toe, if you have never had gout the closest description i can give would be to take bindy prickles in a cluster, put them inside your sock and then try to walk, crippling. Anyway enough about me. I have entered all the score cards for the last 5 weeks, some interes...ting and not so interesting scoring. It is however good to see we are embracing our Sunday summer golf, 9 hole competition.

That means one person in a cart and one can walk!! If you dont want to adhere to these rule we the committee might have to ask you leave the course and there could be restrictions put on you or we will have to close the course completely I would hate for the police to get involved! So please please respect our request through these tough times so other people can enjoy some excise as well. Pat Anderson FGC President

06.01.2022 Hi members, Things are getting tougher. We have received notification from GolfWA that golf is subject to restrictions in place under the Public Health Act 2016 (WA) Sections 157 (1)(k) and 190 (1)(p) Preventative Restriction of Activities Direction.... Chief Executive GolfWA says "My reading of the Emergency Management Act - Closure of Certain Places would say that non community clubs (i.e private clubs) can still operate. Clearly, reading the Activities Direction, golf cannot be played in groups of 2 or more, unless people normally reside together." The directions that affect us are 4 A person must refrain from undertaking or engaging in an affected activity. 5 A person must not organise an affected activity. 6 A person must not attend an affected activity The part of the definitions of an affected activity that affects us is the statement "a gathering of 2 or more people, who do not ordinarily reside at the same premises, for the purpose of participating in a sporting activity together." In short, Golf as we know it, is off the menu! You may play on your own or with another player if you live in the same house. Regards Pat Anderson FGC President

01.01.2022 Golf Australia has released the following statement on March 30: As you are aware, COVID-19 or the Coronavirus as it is more commonly known has created global health concerns regarding the disease and its infection rates.... Golf Australia is continuing to provide further assistance and guidance to our clubs and facilities on this important topic. It is Golf Australias recommendation that, based on the Prime Ministers announcement on Sunday evening, March 29 that limits outdoor gatherings to two persons or fewer, all golf clubs and facilities should close until further notice. The Prime Minister stated that all Australians should stay at home except for: Shopping for essentials Medical purposes Exercise Work and education if you cannot work or learn remotely A number of state/territory Premiers and Chief Ministers have already supported this view and reinforced to their state/territory residents that this advice should be followed. This messaging has been clear on what constitutes exercise and while golf is used for exercise for many, it is clear that golf does not fall within this definition based on public government statements in the last 24 hours. It is expected that states/territories will all take this position over the coming days. Golf Australia acknowledges that some state/territory governments will provide additional information and we will keep you up to date as and when additional state/territory based announcements are made so you are clear on the legalities of golf courses and their operations moving forward. While this is a difficult time for the golf industry and wider society, Golf Australia is committed to working with clubs and facilities across the state to ensure that we return a vibrant, strong industry. So people it looks like we are going to close the course until further notice. Pat Anderson Club President
