The relocation of the Pro Shop to the main building has provided a number of efficiencies and benefits to staff and members alike. It has also left a legacy that includes (no change) to the suitably equipped storage facility for golf carts, the previous pro shop premises and the very old buggy and club storage rooms.

The old pro shop premises are need of roof repair but have provided an excellent history and archive facility that houses an impressive collection of club memorabilia, records and cultural curios. Well worth a visit.

Unfortunately the old buggy and golf club storage wing is in need of demolition, it was built cheaply, it leaks and is highly likely to contain asbestos although not of the friable variety.

The original plans of the clubhouse extension and relocation of the pro shop included an indoor training capability; unfortunately this initiative was abandoned due to subsequent cost overruns and the discovery of asbestos.

Given our inability to offer an outdoor driving range together with the absence of all-weather lesson facilities and the growth of classes for juniors it has placed our exceptional teaching pros under some stress as well as hampering our capacity to provide modern -training facilities for members.

In response the Board have elected to consider demolition of the old storage wing and construct an integrated training and development centre that provides golf simulators linked to big screens, indoor nets and an all-weather trackman capability.

It is also planned to include adjacent outdoor chipping, putting and bunker play areas as well as provision for a classroom to be used in group lessons or seminars.

It is a stimulating project initiative that offers significant member benefit.

A donation of $1,000 also provides membership to the Foundation.
