Rich River Golf Club Resort offers some of the best golf in the country! Our two award winning 18 hole champion golf courses have developed over the years to become one of regional Australia's premier golfing venues. The par 72 West Course has traditional tree lined fairways with small tricky greens and takes the serious golfer on a 6,183m journey. The par 72 East Course was redesigned by Peter Thomson in 1998 and features large greens, wide fairways, Thomson signature bunkers and covers 6,131m. Both courses provide outstanding challenges for all players.

KEEP YOUR WEIGHT FORWARD TO BE A CONSISTANT CHIPPER
One of the great golf chipping tips for the golf short game is the "Flamingo Drill", this is performed by keeping your weight shifted towards your front foot. It is normal to assume your weight is forward, however, when your head is behind the ball, your weight will also remain behind the ball. Keeping your weight on your front foot stops those "fat" or "Skinny" shots.
Flamingo Drill can be practiced in your free time. Also practice chipping with you weight pushed onto your front foot with your back foot in the air like a flamingo stands. If you have trouble balancing, place the toe of your back foot on the ground to support you and do not move your eyes around too much as that will affect your balance too. This drill will allow you to get used to putting your weight to the front during the chips and will also prevent your body from swaying from side to side or back and forth. Allow your arms, shoulders and your grip on the golf club to do the rest of the work.
Give this drill a try next time you're on the range and you will soon become a consistant chipper.

Heat Policy
Extreme Heat Policy
It is the policy of Rich River Golf Club Ltd to ensure safe playing conditions for competition participants in order to minimise the risk of injury, illness or possibly death in circumstances of extreme hot weather.
Purpose
This policy has been introduced to reduce the risk of heat related injury to players and officials involved in Club competitions and events.
Rich River Golf Club recognises that there are potential health risks for players participating in competitions being exposed to extreme heat conditions for long periods of time.
Heat stress is a serious health risk. High intensity exercise in a hot environment, with the associated fluid loss and elevation of body temperature, can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion and heat stroke (which can be fatal). High humidity significantly increases the likelihood of heat stress. Children are at greater risk than adults and older players may also be at high risk.
Competition organisers have a duty of care to monitor environmental conditions and to take action to minimise the risk of heat stress to players.
Procedure
In circumstances of extreme hot weather and humidity, where the ambient temperature exceeds 40 degrees, play shall be suspended or cancelled at the discretion of the respective Committee or representatives thereof.
If the weather exceeds 40 degrees please contact the pro shop on 5481 3372.
