Short Game Facility Update

Short Game Facility Update

Due to Nathan’s absence, the Shortgame Facility / 19th Hole project has been postponed until his return.  We anticipate this project to recommence in late September 2020.
Before Nathan took leave, he organised for Michael Cocking, from Ogily/Cocking/Mead to come out and put together a draft plan of how the area could look for our members.
If members have any questions or feedback on the below, please don’t hesitate to contact Heath.
Thank you
