Members booking spots in public times
A Club runs well when its members are thoughtful and respectful. Woollahra members have the privilege to book into public tee times on the booking sheet with no prepayment required.
For the most part this arrangement, which is a nice benefit of being a Woollahra member, works well. Unfortunately, there are increasing instances of members making bookings for more players than end up being used, failing to cancel their booking in a timely fashion, cancelling at the last minute or worst of all not even turning up at all. This deprives fellow members, as well as members of the public the chance to play and also impacts on the Club’s ability to generate revenue.
Members are asked to book carefully and to inform the Proshop if there are changes to the booking. If members do not do the right thing on more than one occasion, they will

Dear Members,
With the forecast indicating an extreme heat event, with temperatures expected to reach approximately 42 degrees, the Match Committee has reviewed this weekend’s golf in line with the Golf Australia Heat Guidelines (view here).  These guidelines recommend considering postponement to a cooler part of the day or cancellation when temperatures are expected to reach 36 degrees or above.
With this in mind, the Match Committee has made the decision to postpone the first round of the Edgecliff Shield and the January Monthly Medal.
Please note that the competition scheduled for this Saturday will proceed as a regular Stableford and 2BBB event.
This was not an easy call, and we understand the disappointment this may cause.  However, the wellbeing of our members must always come first.  A round of golf involves prolonged time outdoors, physical exertion, and exposure to the sun, and in temperatures of this level the risk of heat related illness

Members will notice the addition of a new tee on Hole 6, positioned to the right of the existing tee and adjacent to the drinking fountain.  This new teeing area has been created for social play only.
The relocation of this tee aims to reduce the risk of golf balls entering the adjoining rugby union oval.  With golf participation continuing to grow and more players accessing the course, we have received reports of an increase of golf balls landing on the playing field.  By shifting the tee to the right, players are naturally directed further away from the oval, opening up the intended line of play and helping improve safety for those using the sporting fields.
Looking ahead, the Board has plans to undertake a full renovation of the Hole 6 tee complex in the New Year, subject to available funding.  The proposed redesign will include the creation of three new teeing

The Ladies held their annual Presentation Evening on Monday, 8 December, celebrating all members who claimed a major trophy or competition win throughout the year.
The evening began with bubbles on arrival, followed by a delicious dinner prepared by Chef Daz. Although our Club Champion, Aimee Lagesse, was unable to attend, she sent a thoughtful message of thanks, which was read to the group on the night.
Following the formalities, guests were treated to a surprise performance by ‘The Dolly’s’ (the Ladies Committee incognito), singing “Golfing Nine to Five” — a highlight that brought smiles and plenty of laughter.
It was an enjoyable night filled with fun, laughter, and wonderful community spirit.

We’re pleased to share that construction works on both Hole 8 and Hole 9 are now complete.
On Hole 8, members will notice new contouring throughout the fairway. These subtle shape adjustments have been designed to improve surface drainage, helping reduce the issues we’ve previously experienced after heavy rain. The irrigation system has also been upgraded, providing full coverage across both the fairway and surrounding rough.
The newly laid turf has benefitted from ideal growing conditions and is knitting in exceptionally well.  Our course team has now commenced mowing the fairway down to 16mm as it continues to establish.  We’ll provide a further update on the reopening timeline, however we anticipate Hole 8 returning to play in January.
Hole 9 has also reached completion, with turf laid last week and already showing strong signs of growth. Yesterday the green was seeded with Dominant X-Treme — a blend of three bent grass varieties selected for
