COMPETITION TOMORROW - Wed, 26 Oct

Due to the tireless efforts of our greens staff and the many club volunteers that have been on course during the current renovations, the course will be open and a Wednesday competition will be run tomorrow. Due to the time of this decision, an on-line tee sheet will not be set up, however, you can ring the pro shop on 32068143 to book your spot in the competition this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
I would like to thank the team of volunteers that have also donated their time on course yesterday and today to assist in weed eradication, divot and pitch mark repairs and turfing on course. Your assistance is greatly appreciated and has not only improved the presentation of the course for all our members and guests but has made golf available to our members a day ahead of schedule. On behalf of the board, greens staff and the members of RBGC, THANK YOU for your efforts!
A huge thank you also to Mick & Anne Brown (McDonalds Coorparoo) for supplying the burgers to all the volunteers today. Once again, you have provided support beyond expectation. Thank you!

What's on in November at RBGC

Renovations underway

Renovations are currently underway on course and will be conducted from today (Monday) to Wednesday. The green staff are endeavouring to have the course back into play as soon as possible and do not want to disrupt our valuable members golf too much.

I would like to thank the team of volunteers that have also donated their time on course today and tomorrow to assist in weed eradication, divot and pitch mark repairs and turfing on course. Your assistance is greatly appreciated and will certainly improve the presentation of the course for all our members and guests.

RBGC Calendar of Events - Nov 2011

18 Oct 2011

From the Managers Desk - Oct Report

September was another busy month at the club for not only trade but also for the clean up of debris caused by the freak storm that hit the course on 9 Sept. I would like to thanks the extra efforts put in by our greens staff along with the many volunteers that assisted.

The kitchen renovations are now complete and the staff are now used to the new flow from order to service. We are now in the process of analysing the wait time experienced by customers waiting in the line to order and looking at ideas on how this can be reduced. This is now even more necessary due to the addition of members 2-4-1 dining on Wednesday night as well. This addition has proved just as popular as the Thursday night offer and I thank all our members and guests for supporting the club.

The return serve of the Battle of the Bay was played on Friday, 14 Oct between RBGC and Carbrook GC and after our first round loss to Carbrook GC, the RBGC players were very keen to send CGC back to their club without the trophy. The day saw some great stableford scores but none better the RBGC's Bill Sneddon who massed 45 points to win the individual aspect of the comp. The main trophy of the day was the team result. This was the tally of the top 15 cards from each club. RGGC scored 531 points compared to Carbrook GC's 525 points. Well done to the RBGC players and thank you for supporting this event and district golf.

Last week I attended the National conference of Golf Management Australia in Melbourne. This was an excellent conference with world renowned speakers and fantastic learning content. It was certainly clear that the issues that golfers experience here at RBGC are issues ecperienced by clubs over the country especially slow play and the value of membership. I have returned with many ideas and strategies to implement over the coming months and to discuss with the board.

Bookings for Xmas parties at the club are also coming in fast so if you are considering having a Xmas event here at the club with your family, business, staff of community group, please call 32067011 and speak with Fiona.

RBGC Open Day last weekend

We held another very successful open day at the club last Sunday, 16 Oct. It was great to see the large number of people that attended this event. We received a number of new adult members and more importantly, 10 new junior members. I would like to thank the Junior Captain, Daniel Sharpe & Vice Captain, Adam Marsh for volunteering their time to assist during the open day along with the club board members. Thank you for assisting and for promoting the club.

The main trophy of the day was the team result. This was the tally of the top 15 cards from each club. RBGC scored 531 points to Carbrook GC's 525 points. Well done to the RBGC players! The next Battle will be approx. May 2012 so stay tuned!
