IN 2020, Maffra Golf Club drew up a strategic plan to plot the direction it would take over the next five years. One of priorities of the plan was to replace the antiquated watering system. The original system was installed in 1951, and at that time second-hand asbestos piping was used. Trees have since been planted and these tree roots are continually lifting and breaking the old pipe, which is dangerous and difficult to repair as fittings have to be made up to fit the outdated pipe. The system is all manual and inefficient. The pump is the same age as the pipes but has been refurbished several times, it is however reaching the end of its life. The club commissioned “Wayswithwater” to draw up plans and provide costings for the project. Wellington Shire Council provided $5000 to the cost of these drawings. The club will replace the old pipes, install new sprinkler heads, designed to water the whole course, install sensors, purchase three pumps to run in tandem and connect the system to a programmable computer which will allow water at night, the most efficient time, as there is minimal evaporation and maximum absorption. Saputo contributed $20,000 to the project which is estimated to cost $800,000 and will be completed over a number of years.

Sale success

SALE Croquet Club president Peter Goldstraw won Section 1 of the inaugural Bairnsdale Croquet Club 19 hoop golf-croquet singles tournament at the weekend. He went through the tournament undefeated but had a great battle with runner-up Richard Hingst, Williamstown, in what proved to be the final game of the weekend. Both players went into the game undefeated with six wins each. Goldstraw gained a two hoop break early in the match, but Hingst levelled with scores at nine all, before Goldstraw tapped through the winner on the 19th hoop. In Section 2, Sale’s Colin Coomber was runner-up to Morwell’s Penny Morrison-McGill. Coomber was undefeated before his final game against Morrison-McGill who won easily. Both players finished on four wins and a countback of hoops was needed to decide the section winner. In Section 3, Steven Podolak, Belmont, won from his club mate Gail Knight. Six Sale players travelled to Bairnsdale to contest the tournament. This coming weekend Sale will host a golf-croquet doubles tournament at its courts in Guthridge Parade and spectators are welcome.
