I would like to take this opportunity to send my best wishes to all those affected by the floods, I do know that quite a few members have had their homes inundated and will need to be almost totally re-built and many more with slight damage. All of our staff were also affected in some way, either directly or by family and friends.
The events of the past week or so really show how we take our care free lives for granted, such as playing golf and turning on a light switch in your clean lounge room full of furniture or knowing for sure all of your family is alive and well.
There are many golf clubs and other sporting clubs that have been badly damaged, some will find it hard to recover, others will steel their resolve and become stronger. All of our closest golf neighbours have been hardest hit with most losing pumps, machinery and other infastructure.
My thoughts and prayers are with everybody affected directly or indirectly, members or not. If there is anything myself or my staff can possibly do, please do not hesitate to ask.
