Café Opening Hours

Thank you to all members for your feedback with the changes to the opening hours. We have listened and have made the following changes:

Tuesday 8am to 4pm
Wednesday 8am to 4pm
Thursday 8am to 4pm
Saturday 8am to 4pm

We hope this will mean you can still grab a coffee and snack before and after your round.

We thank all members for continuing to support the Café.

Course Update

Last week members would have noticed the greens were not at their best. Unfortunately the Grounds Team has some mechanical issues and couldn't cut or roll them. Nathan sends his apologies about that. Good news is that they will be back to normal for tomorrow's members comp. The greens were fertilised on Monday and we've had some very welcomed rain.

Message from Captain Phil

Any members who have emailed the Men's Captain previously (on his aapt.net.au address) need to be aware that the email address has been scammed and should be deleted. If any future contact needs to be via email, then please contact the office at PIGC (office@pigc.com.au). Otherwise, please send a text message.

Regards

Men's Captain PIGC
