"Peninsula club chief executive Heath Wilson broke the news to members by email last week, saying that after a chat with the club’s insurers, he was pulling the plug on the in-house charging service for buggy batteries.
“We understand that this will cause some inconvenience to members. However, the risk is now too real to ignore following the Eastern Golf Club incident which destroyed their clubhouse,” Wilson wrote.
The Eastern Golf Course clubhouse has been destroyed in a ferocious blaze in Victoria’s Yarra Valley.

Thankfully, Peninsula’s golfers will not be expected to get themselves and their gear around the links under their own steam; the club’s own electric buggies will continue to roll, powered by new batteries that are subject to a stringent maintenance regime, Heath reckons."
