The third storm in 7 days and I think this one was more severe and the damage is certainly worse than last week.  Only 38mm of rain but the damage as a result of the wind is significantly more with about 12 trees completely uprooted.

I heard a plane on a strange flight path then checked and it was going to Sydney but was going the wrong way!!  I then checked the radar and saw the front coming and realised why it was going the wrong way.  

A bit of deja vu for the crew with a rinse and repeat of last Friday amid the carnage on the courses.  Both courses will be closed on Friday to give us the best shot at the clean up and we should get the main turf playing areas on both courses cleaned.  Bunkers and roughs will need to wait.   If the courses were open to play, and even without carts, we would probably be lucky to get 9 holes done so closing is the best option.

A few pics from the courses after the storm.............

Never seen this flightpath before?
