The Opening Day of the Two Wells Golf Club 2011 season was greeted by showers and windy conditions as 40 members attended the opening address by President Chris Girling who acknowledged the hard work and sacrifices made by the members who were involved with the ongoing course improvements during the summer.

Chris thanked the generous support provided by Vince Zito and his son-law Dave for their time, machinery and labour in preparing the new 9th scrape, paths and the mound covering the old scrape. Vince also provided valuable advice on the preparation of the existing scrapes. Tim Clifton for providing the base placed on the paths. Steve Watson of Bailey's Steel also thanked for the generous donation of the steel that was used in the new tee blocks and the members who attended the working bees with a special thank you to Course Manager Bobby Hogg and his able bodied side kick John Ball and Denis Hart for their tireless efforts through the summer to prepare the course ready for this year's Opening Day.

The Course was not only the greenest we have seen at the start of the season but was in top condition to all the above. Well done team a grand effort by all involved.

A Grade was a close affair with visitor and ex local Peter Lamont who shot 73 off the stick with 41 points to narrowly beat Yogi on 40 points with Chris Girling holding the third place on 38 points. B Grade was dominated by Russell Grigg who signaled his intentions for the season with 43 points with Rabbit's 41 points enough to hold second place from veteran Ian Smith on 39 points. C Grade's winner was Andrew Baker who eagled the 17th to finish with a fine 39 points from our local music man Darrell Thompson who has been out of the winning circle for a while with 35 points and third place Jamie Gibson on 34 points.

Elaine Grigg proved too strong to hold off both Julie Holland on 33 points and Judi Frost on 30 Points.

Sadly I was informed during the week that a past member Bob O'Brien had passed away recently. Bob was well respected at the club and was always helping other to improve their golf. Our thoughts are with his family at this time of sadness.

On Thursday the course was visited by the Golf Australia rating team through Golf SA and commenced the new Slope rating of both the men's and ladies courses at Two Wells. The team was very impressed with the course preparation and during the review made several comments on how some of the holes were challenging for the novice. On Friday night I received an email confirming that the Ladies Course rating had been completed and the men's review was expected to be confirmed this week with the formal notification from Golf SA would be sent to the Club.
