September Snapshot

Members will have noticed the Course and Maintenance Team have been busy clearing out certain areas of the course, specifically overhanging limbs on holes 13 and 17, and the Chinese Elm (Weed Tree) on the 19^th hole.  The clearing on hole 19 has been undertaken to improve the quality of airflow in this region of the course. 

The Club's Herbicide spray program has now commenced on fairways while bunker works continues, specifically topping up with sand as required. 

Following the recent Tee Block Project, all work has now been completed and these tees have had their first mow.

On Sunday the 18^th of August, Keperra played their final match of the season against Royal Queensland. The equation was simple, we required 13.5 points from 21 to remain in Division 1 for a 13^th straight year. Despite the team's best efforts, it wasn't meant to be with both teams finishing on 10.5 points each resulting in KCGC heading back to Division 2 for the 2025 season. 

Special mention must go to KCGC Club Champion, Wesley Hinton, who had an outstanding season winning all 5 of his matches playing at Number 1. Wesley was able to win both home and away with his best result coming back from 3 down through 10 holes to defeat current Keperra Bowl Champion, Billy Dowling, 2up.

Daniel Butler is also deserved of recognition of his continued efforts in managing the team. He and his fellow selectors have again worked tirelessly to ensure that no stone was left unturned in preparing the team for their matches every week.

Best of luck for the 2025 season and we hope to be back in Division 1 in 2026.

The Club is also happy to announce that Phil Wuersching from Jim's Test & Tag has extended his Club Sponsorship, and that of the Club's Pennant Side for a further 12 months.

Congratulations to the Winner of the 'Pay as you Golf' early payment Competition.  John Gallagher (Member Number: 5646) settled his membership during August and has won a $150 House Account Credit. Congratulations John.

The Club is starting to see the emergence of snakes on the course again and would like to remind all members to remain cautious while walking through thick rough. 

Open Day - August 27

Our second and final open day for 2024 was held this week.  A foggy start became a beautiful warm day, so much better than the first Open Day which rained all day, causing deferral.

We had a competitive field of 60 players including visitors from 5 other clubs - Carbrook, Indooroopilly, Maroochy River, Nudgee and Wantima.

The winners of the Canadian Foursomes competition, by a whopping 7.75 strokes on 69.75 were Angela Gordon and Catrina Daly.  Second, on a countback on 77.5 were  Pamela Lawrence and Pamela Couch (Wantima).

A HUGE thanks to Tangalooma Island Resort for the prizes for the day.

A Grade - Chrissy Booth who defended her title

B Grade - Kymmi Roberts
