Club members are reminded that their blind footy tipping cards need to be back in to club, or organising members by Tuesday.
The Mixed Vets event will be played on Monday, with 9am assembly for 9.30am shotgun start. There are 9 hole and 18 hole events and handicap and non-handicap sections, with a presentation lunch to follow.
In the clubhouse don’t forget to hang around after golf for the members’ draw and meat raffle draw.
