Innisfail Golf Club

IT was fantastic to see some good weather last week and the course is in spectacular condition.

A huge thank you to the grounds crew for mowing of the course this week which is looking a million bucks for members and visitors’ last weekend.

Last week, the crew re-turfed parts of eight green to see how the grass from the practice chipping green will bond.

The areas have been marked Ground Under Repair (GUR) and players can take free relief, no closer the hole if you are chipping or putting through the GUR.
