20.01.2022 Woking bee this Friday at 3pm to prune fairway trees.

20.01.2022 @busywild a round of golf they said, a quiet 18 holes they said meanwhile in Australia #ringerswestern #kangaroo www.ringerswestern.com

20.01.2022 There is hope for all of us.

18.01.2022 What a magnificent day to be out and about and the golf scores reflected the weather.....well some of them anyway. Nong Lacey had a blinder and scored 43 points to easily win, from a resurgent Flipper Gadd, 5 shots off the pace, with a very average 38 points. Captain chaos came third with a respectable 37 points. Dare we say that the Vag was won by the fly in farmer from just down river, who had 25 points. What a treat it was to have the king from the north grace us wit...h his presence for the day, although he left soon after play finished. We hope he was accepted back into the lucky country......I don’t think this southern country would accommodate him for too long. Exciting news! Next week we play golf at.........Walwa. See more

18.01.2022 The week in solitude to meditate and focus paid dividends for pennant pair Bags and Dennis, who both had wins, along with virgin Ash Baikaloff at Holbrook today. The other two participants, without pink shirts, failed to trouble the scorers for the second week in a row, and may find themselves in the sin bin to repent next week. We won 3/2 on the day, which can only attributed to the brilliant team management and team selection by the captain. At home, Harold returned to form with 21 points, and looks a shoe in for a pennant recall, unlike his stablemate Hairbare, who could only scrape together a lowly 12 points, and narrowly miss the Vag, won by Mother Teresa on 11 points.

16.01.2022 Due to a technical difficulty with the author, todays update of events will be postponed until comprehension returns.

15.01.2022 The hot and dusty conditions didn’t deter the die hards from turning out in their droves today. The winner, with monotonous regularity, was the happy bachelor, Hairus ball baggus with 36 points. The Vag was won by the white wog Taurus ball baggus on 22 points. Connor would have won on 19, but for his ineligibility of not being a member. I think Cribbies dog may have scored better than his partner as well. Nong Lacey came back to earth under his new handicap and struggled... in the pristine conditions. Crundle finally had his fluorescent ball returned from 3 weeks previous, which must have been taken from 300m down the middle of the 9th fairway. There is no other explanation Sid. See more

15.01.2022 Just a reminder that the club championships start this Sunday at 8:30am for both men and women. Also, it has been suggested that the AGM be held on the 29th November at 3pm (After the last round of the championships). Please let us know your thoughts.

15.01.2022 Pot ‘o gold on the 5th!!!

14.01.2022 No this is a bit too tricky......

14.01.2022 Perfect conditions, both weather and course, saw some impressive scores in today’s 9 hole comp. Neva had 20 points, but was less than impressed when handed a tin of spam instead of the expected leg of Ham. This, of course, was just a joke and she was presented with real thing soon after. Mother Teresa Water was 2nd on 19 points. Hairbare went to town and demolished the spam without taking a breath. ... The Vag was won by long time absent Paul Fritz Jeffries, with a measly 11 points. See more

14.01.2022 The weather was hot, but the golf hotter for the first round of the club championships today. The course was in perfect condition,as the roughs mower was repaired during the week and Robbie hooked in and mowed the lot. The clubhouse leader of the men’s stroke event was the ever reliable, placid, Dave Robbo with a 78 off the beater. Equal second on 87, but 9 shots back, was Harold and Crundle. The leader of the women’s Comp is Gale Bramich with 100 off the stick. ... NTP on the 3rd was Dennis and on the 8th was Brad. One player failed to complete the first round with a small heart issue. The prestigious VAG now has a clear leader with only two weeks of competition to complete. Flipper Gadd has now won, or should I say lost, on four occasions and looks a shoe in to partake in a cool beverage from its pristine interior at years end. Next week is the second round of the Championships, which is to say we turn up at 8:30am for a 9:00am tee off. Sorry to confuse those of limited insight this previous week. See more

13.01.2022 The drainage works on the 2nd fairway are well under way with HB Plumbing turning the first sod this morning. The job should be completed by Wednesday. The rest... of the locals picked up sticks in the roughs. Well done to all. Thanks must also go out to Mulligan Drilling for letting us use their potholer to locate the underground services. Towong Shire Council This project has been made possible thanks to a grant procured through the Towong Shire Council. See more

12.01.2022 The inclement weather failed to deter those able to partake in golf in these uncertain times. Scores were varied, but a three way tie at the top saw Brian bandit Lacey once again win the magnificent prize with 33 points, from Hairbare in second. The Vag was also hotly contested, but Flipper Gadd won from Bags and Harold. NTP was Hairbare and Nong, although the latter was fined 66% of his winnings, for firstly landing one on the clubhouse roof and secondly, having an airy. See ya next week where we once again flog that little white thing more often than we would like.

12.01.2022 There was a huge turn up in sultry conditions for the second round of the club championships today. The lady’s competition saw a new clubhouse leader in Neva Taylor, overtaking Gale Bramich by 4 shots. Former local Dave Robbo had a close tussle with David Lacey in the men’s to edge out the latter by a shot. Their playing partner had a great deal of trouble controlling the remote control buggy, and was relegated to being a passenger in the golf cart. There was a pact made b...etween one group at the first tee, that there be a dollar fine for each swearword uttered during the round. By the 18th, Harold owed $72 and Cribby $126. This upset the angelic, religious and moral Crundle’s concentration, as he won the Vag on just 26 points. Big hitting, Bad Boy Bubby, fresh out of isolation, got nearest the pin on the 3rd Don’t forget the AGM after next Sunday’s final round of the championships. The following week we return to the 9@9 Comp, playing for a pig’s leg until Christmas. See more

11.01.2022 There were mixed results at Weleragang for pennant today, but Walwa snuck home to win 3/2. Two elderly players lost, one to the boisterous Batlow blow-in. Dennis held his iron clad nerve to win with one hole remaining, while Harold and Crundle scrambled home to win on the 21st hole. At home, Tumba visitor Sanda, with 18, showed the locals how it was done. Mother narrowly missed back to back Vags’, which was won by Mr Johnathon C Blackburn Esq. with just 10 POINTS.

11.01.2022 A big trim up today. Great to see the king of the north carrying a chain saw and thanks to everyone who turned up. The course is looking a treat. See you all Sunday at 10:30 am.

11.01.2022 If anyone could go down early in the morning to rake the greens following a wind storm, it would be greatly appreciated.

08.01.2022 A beautiful day, freshly mown course and a large, enthusiastic field, played the stableford event today. Andrew Hairbare Hallinan, showing off as always in front of his female partners, had a blinder with 42 points. Runner up being the resurgent Phil Gadd, also showing off in front of his older brother, with 35 points. The Vag was actually won by the happy Russian Wal, but as a visitor, we decided that regular Neva, won, on a count back from Pugs on 28. It was misquoted... last week that there was only one member yet to have his name on the mug, but I fact there are two. Speaking of the second, His phone was running hot this week, he got sick of the constant badgering, and threw it in the fire. Truth be known, he might be losing it and accidentally put it in with the rubbish. The person will remain anonymous and we promise not to Bags him about his misfortune. There has been a lot of happenings at the club lately, so thanks Hairbare for cleaning all the gutters on every building, Trevor Toholka for his advice and willingness to help those of us with less nouse, Bags for organising the the new sand and bunker and raking the scrapes most weeks and captain Harold for keeping us all in line. Great job. See more

06.01.2022 There were some very average scores in perfect conditions, but we were very happy to welcome back our members from the northern side of the river. Cribby’s many hours of practice have paid off, easily winning with 37 points. Runner up was Bags on 33. The other end of the table was hotly contested, but the very erratic Denis Heather won the Vag on 27. NTP was Crundle The club championships, for both men and WOMEN, will be held on the 15th, 22nd and 29th of November. ... We would hope that all men and women make themselves available on at least two of the three days to be not only eligible to win but to make the event competitive. See more

05.01.2022 Ed and Nancy met while on a singles cruise. They were immediately attracted to each other, and spent all their days together sunning on the deck. When they discovered they lived in the same city, only a few miles apart, Ed was ecstatic. When they got back home, he immediately started asking her out. Within just a few weeks, Ed had taken Nancy to dance clubs, restaurants, concerts, movies, and museums. Ed became convinced that Nancy was indeed his soul mate and true love. Ever...y date seemed better than the last. On the one-month anniversary of their first dinner on the cruise ship, Ed took Nancy to a fine restaurant. While having cocktails and waiting for their salad, Ed said, "I guess you can tell I'm very much in love with you. I'd like a little serious talk before our relationship continues to the next stage. Before I get a little box out of my pocket and ask you a life changing question, it's only fair to warn you, I'm a total golf nut. I play golf, I read about golf, I spend my weekends watching golf on TV. In short, I eat, sleep, and breathe golf. Some days, that's all I can think about. If that's going to be a problem for us, you'd better say so now!" Nancy took a deep breath and responded, "Ed, that certainly won't be a problem. I love you as you are, and I love golf too. But, since you're being totally honest with me, I need to be totally honest with you too. Until I met you on the cruise, I had spent the past ten years being a hooker." "Oh wow! I see," Ed replied. He, paused, looked down at the table, and was silent for a moment. Nancy was afraid she had blown her chance to marry a really nice man. Ed sat there silently, deep in serious thought, then he quickly replied, "You know, it's probably because you're not keeping your wrists straight when you hit the ball."

04.01.2022 Another beautiful day in paradise and not a drop of rain to be seen on the golf course. As flipper says, it never rains on the golf course. I never wanted to come back into this world in the afterlife as one of Harold Drummond’s golf clubs, because they get abused most weeks. This week they were treated like cherished babies as the praying mantis won the day, scoring an amazing 37 points. Hair was second on 34. The Vag was easily won, with absolutely no competition, by the ...erratic Nong Lacey with a pitiful 26 points. The ancients from the north travelled to Batlow for their annual tournament, but, unfortunately, the impending bad weather materialised and it was called off shortly after tee off. The golfing world can’t win a trick. See more

04.01.2022 The course was sprayed and mowed during the week and was superb for golf on a lazy Sunday. The capitan decided conditions were apt to play stroke and putting, although it didn’t work in his favour, as he had a shocker to win the Vag with only a miserable net of 82. At the other other end of the ledger, Crundle had a net score of 69 followed by Johnathon Blackburn with a net of 72. No surprise that Neva won the putting with 26 putts. ... Below is an excerpt from our frustrated president sent this afternoon. Another big day at Lankeys Links today, couldn’t get a tee time until after 10, just pipped on the 9th by the Collie for the points. One thing though, Mother Terresa and self have avoided the VAG for weeks. Rumour has it we could be back bigger and better next week so look out. STILL NOT BORED AT ALL. BAGS Ps. Sid couldn’t make it this week, He is up north looking at cattle stations. We all look forward to hanging sh*t on all you New South Welsh persons soon.

03.01.2022 Another great roll up for the comp. today, as well as quite a few visitors having a hit which is great to see. Clear winner today was the cagey captain Harold Drummond with a respectable 36 points. Runner up on a count back from Neva and Flipper was the much improved Ash on 33 points. Crundle hit the ball to all parts of the course with careless abandon to win the VAG to score a pitiful 21 points. NTP on the 3rd was Harold and Hair on the 6th, although this ball was dona...ted to the eagles nest as he promptly 3 putted. The prestigious position of Pie Captain has now been deemed position vacant as the current holder, whilst big noting himself last week on his perfect operation, failed to enquire about the quantity of pies required or even turn the warmer on. Disciplinary action is pending. His mind must be engaged elsewhere. See more

03.01.2022 The Staughton Group Cool off 500 was held today, but perhaps the cool off bit wasn't appropriate in the 40 degree heat, but a full field still turned up from all corners of the district to compete. A few very important thank yous' must be mentioned before we start. Jeanie and the kitchen helpers were once again brilliant, our major sponsor Staughton Group and the minor sponsors also imperative to the running of the event. Clydy and former local Felix behind the bar were ...sensational, the helpers who always put in to get the course in order, and last, but not least, Pres Bags who organised the meat, sponsors and all else when he was allowed. Congrats to all the winners below: 1st Greg Gibbs Simon Mohr Jade Rangi 2nd Craig McKimmie Kelly Galbraith Warren Sinclair 3rd Zack O'Connell Cynthia Alexander Richard Alexander Longest drive A: W.DuBois B:J.Rangi C:M.Hamilton Ladies: S.

03.01.2022 Dave Pugs Robertson, and his more popular wife Janice, will be farewelled and Roasted on Friday 15th January at 6pm. There will be sustenance and refreshments available to see off one of our members, who was very involved when the Walwa Golf Club was moved to the current site. There is sure to be a lot of stories, both fact and fiction, told on the night.

03.01.2022 Today's joke.... One day an Irishman, who had been stranded on a deserted island for over 10 years, saw a speck on the horizon. He thought to himself: "It's certainly not a ship."... As the speck got closer and closer, he began to rule out even the possibilities of a small boat or a raft. Suddenly there strode from the surf a figure clad in a black wet suit. Putting aside the scuba tanks and mask and zipping down the top of the wet suit stood a drop-dead gorgeous blonde! She walked up to the stunned Irishman and said to him: "Tell me, how long has it been since you've had a good cigar?" "Ten years," replied the amazed Irishman. With that, she reached over and unzipped a waterproof pocket on the left sleeve of her wet suit and pulled out a fresh package of cigars and a lighter. He took a cigar, slowly lit it, and took a long drag. "Faith and begorrah," said the castaway "that is so good! I'd almost forgotten how great a smoke can be!" "And how long has it been since you've had a drop of good Bushmill's Irish Whiskey?" asked the blonde. Trembling, the castaway replied: "Ten years." Hearing that, the blonde reached over to her right sleeve, unzipped a pocket there and removed a flask and handed it to him. He opened the flask and took a long drink. "Tis nectar of the gods!" shouted the Irishman. "Tis truly fantastic!!!" At this point the gorgeous blonde started to slowly unzip the long front of her wet suit, right down the middle. She looked at the trembling man and asked: "And how long has it been since you played around?" With tears in his eyes, the Irishman fell to his knees and sobbed: "For the love of God, don’t tell me you’ve got golf clubs in there as well!
