Attention members, I sincerely apologise for not communicating to all members earlier and consistently in regard to the situation regarding the irrigation system and the resulting turf coverage at Gungahlin Lakes. It was in October that the greens staff discovered an issue with one of the 4 pumps that distributed the water from the pond on 14/18 throughout the course. After many false starts, many “experts” investigating, being sent to Adelaide, many replacement parts – we are still a pump down. Simple mathematics indicates that we should be 25% down in our ability to deliver water – but somehow this number is between 30 and 35%. Match committee have been recognising the resultant turf issues and introduced local rules to accommodate. Once again, sorry for not letting you all know the stress that our course and greens staff have been under over the summer months
