The Day’s Play was a Four Ball Best Ball sponsored by two of our favourite members and nature’s gentlemen, Johnny ‘Be-good’ Green and Brendan ‘McSporran’ McMillan. Congratulations to two legends (in their own lunch box), Ivan Juriss and Wesley Smith on a very healthy 45 Stableford points. On the day

The Monthly Medal is always a popular event on the golfing calendar and the April monthly medal on the 11th was no exception with 60 players vying for the trophy. Although we are well into Autumn the weather is still hot and very dry and this is impacting on the course condition with fairways beginning to really brown off and become quite patchy and bare in places. However, the irrigated greens are still (dare I say it) green and in good condition. The competition was generou

The event was generously sponsored by long time members Matt and Nikki Waterworth, and we thank them for their sponsorship. The me

The game is played over 9 holes as this allows players to attend other Australia Day events if they want to. This year the game and annual trophy was won by the father and son team of Michael Th
