25.01.2022 LATE BREAKING NEWS!!..... Hi everyone, Brian and Peter (co-sponsors) have just informed me that the putting competition JACKPOT stands at $220, and is up for grabs at tomorrow’s SOCIAL from 4pm. Gather your friends and come along for some socially distanced finger food and fun. See you there... Cheryl See more

23.01.2022 NEWS AND RESULTS FROM LAST WEEK.... Hi everyone, Beautiful golfing weather persists at the moment. The monthly Social on Friday evening celebrated the first Juniors get together, and a total of 21 socialites. We look forward to the next on 4th September. Don’t forget to nominate at the club for the Mens’ Closed Championships Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th September.... A Covid Safe reminder is timelymake sure you are seated to eat and drink at the club, and that you sign the visitor sheet if you are not in a competition. There is a sheet in the honour box at number 1 tee, and one at the bar. We, the club, can be heavily fined for not complying, and of course none of us knows if we’ve been in contact with someone who is infected. RESULTS: On Wednesday, 10 ladies competed. The outstanding winner was Cheryl Lloyd with 41 points, followed by Julie Reed on 35, Bruna Quadrio on 34, and Deb Giles on 33 points. Friday saw just two ladies in a competition. Deb Giles scored 32 points. On Saturday, 19 players took to the field to compete in a stableford, for what became a momentous day for Randi Tuxworth. Randi can putt from anywhere, we all say, but she avoided that necessity by scoring a rare HOLE-IN-ONE on number 9. What a fantastic achievement. She then went on to trounce the opposition with 44 points. Fred Smith followed with 4o points (if only Randi hadn’t got a gazillion points for her hole in one!!!!) and Ian Swarbrick scored 39 in the run down. Sunday fielded a great comp with 31 players in a stroke event. Steve Hart took the honours with a very credible 68, followed by Julie Reed on 70, and run-down prizes went to Fred Smith, Neil Edwards, Allan Cockburn and Don Jurd all on 71. This weekend will include a Stableford select on Saturday and the Monthly Medal event on Sunday. Happy golfing everyone.. Cheryl

11.01.2022 NEWS AND RESULTS FROM LAST WEEK.... Hi everyone, We are so fortunate to have wonderful golf weather and be healthy and free of COVID aren’t we. This good fortune is reflected in great golf fields. We are all encouraged to be mindful of the COVID rules 1.5m distancing, sanitising and cleaning of surfaces etc. On the course, flag sticks remain untouched as do rakes.... Some upcoming events for which your support is welcome include: This Friday we will host social golf. The bar will be open from about 4pm and some spaced (!) nibbles from about 5pm. A putting competition will be on the menu also. Come along and bring friends (don’t have to be members) for a fun evening. Don’t forget to nominate if you intend playing in the Closed Championships 12th and 13th September. Nomination sheet is on the notice board behind the bar. Buggy drivers need to be aware of the very worn patches close to the greens and stay away from them, to allow the grass to regenerate. Weeds love worn patches, and that makes the greens maintenance so much harder for our hardworking volunteers. RESULTS: The ladies played their competition on Wednesday. Lesley Beltrame blitzed the field to win with 42 points. Well behind were Sue Cameron on 36, Cheryl Skene on 35, and Deb Giles on 34 points.
