Lines & Tees
There are new mowing lines to the north, south and east of the Practice Green to create additional short grass chipping areas.
Putting Green Pins
We have reintroduced the “mini-Pins” to the Practice Putting Green. These Pins are very helpful for those with bad backs, they also help protect the edges of the holes, and they make it far easier to practice those long putts where it can be difficult to make out the hole.
Warm-Up Nets
The Board recently approved the construction of two Member Warm-Up Nets. These Warm-Up Nets will be located at the western end of the Rental Cart shed, adjacent to the path to the 1st and 10th tees.
MRGC App
Do you sometimes find yourself in the 1st fairway wondering whether it is Preferred Lie or not? A feature of the Maroochy River Golf Club app that some Members may not be aware of is the “Course Conditions” section.
Blue Lines and Traffic
As much as the blue lines and cart direction works for improved surfaces around the greens, can we all be aware of the concentrated wear that is starting to appear at the blue lines. It is good to see the information sent out by Andy Meldrum being followed however, you still need to be mindful in spreading this wear.
Concrete Edging Trial
Members will be aware of the issue we experience on a number of holes on the course where golf balls roll across cart paths. In order to address these issues, the Greens Committee and the Captain are testing the use of sloped concrete edging on some holes.

When should we call “Fore!”
Most golfers are very familiar with one situation in which you should always call Fore, but did you know that there are actually TWO scenarios where we should be giving our vocal cords a workout and calling Fore?
Call-Up Holes
Let’s discuss one aspect of Member Standards – our two Call-Up Holes, and the behaviour and respect for other Members that is expected when playing these holes.
Greens and Fairways Renovations
Greens and Fairways Renovations will start directly after the last group in Sunday’s comp has hit off.
