Woodend Golf Club is very appreciative of help provided by VicForests personnel in clearing up massive stumps left over from the June 21 storms.
While the club members cleaned up much of the extreme damage, managing the huge stumps was beyond their club’s capacity.
“We are very grateful to have staff from VicForests out on course helping with the big job.
“Thanks to Mary-Anne Thomas (Member for Macedon) and her office for helping us get this support,” club president Barney Hearnden said.
The club is continuing to plant native species and protect native grasses around the course as part of a detailed environmental plan.
Woodend is very much aware of being the reigning Club of the Year in Victoria, and works are continuing on rejuvenating the clubhouse.
Dalhousie pennant began on Sunday, and Woodend has been able to select four strong teams after having an excess of players put up their names for selection.
The club is the reigning DDGA scratch pennant champion, and also won two other pennant titles last season.
Woodend expects to encounter very strong opposition again this season.
